When it comes to passing gas or farting, no one is exempted. It is peculiar to the young, the old, the rich, the poor, the slay mamas or queens, and even the so-called ‘Yoruba demons’ and handsome men.
Farting is considered an inappropriate and accepted social behaviour but you would be surprised it has amazing health benefits. It is an important part of food digestion.

This is one major reason you should always “let it out”. Unpassed gas has a huge impact in making you feel bloated. If you have ever experienced bloating, you would remember it makes you feel comfortable. This can also have dangerous implications on your health.

Asides inhaling the smell for health benefits, farting also helps your colon. Holding in gas affects your digestive system. This could cause medical problems that could affect your colon and other organs in your body.
