“Let it go, let it go, can’t hold it back anymore!”
Ever wonder why your breath smells even though you have already done oral hygiene? You traced all of the foods that you eat and tried to figure out what might be the cause. But, maybe you might consider another factor that you missed to roll out and it may sound funny but believe me it is possible.
The Gas Reabsorption Theory
Are you shy that you might get embarrassed releasing your fart? Well, you might wanna let go of it rather than having it coming out through another manner. According to studies, holding farts can cause bad breath through the process of gas reabsorption. The gas travels to your intestinal wall and goes all the way up to your lungs, which then leads you to exhale the stink.
The Pressure Build-up
Holding farts can lead to short-term health issues:
- Discomfort
- Bloating
- Indigestion
- Heartburn
What to do instead?
When you are in a situation where you need to go, excuse yourself and head to a restroom or an open public space. Your diet may contribute to the excessive production of gas, so you might want to adjust it accordingly.
It’s generally healthier to release gas naturally rather than holding it in, as it can also cause discomfort, bloating, and other digestive issues.
So, pangutot na diha!
