Why do farts smell so bad?

Farting or farts smell is cause by gas that builds up in the digestive system due to the body’s process of breaking down food into energy, eating certain foods that cause a lot of gas, or swallowing air that occurs when chewing food, breathing, smoking, etc. Although most gas is expell through burping,  some of it makes its way into the digestive system, through the intestines, causing symptoms of bloating, indigestion, and eventually being expell as a fart.

The bad smell of farts is cause by

  • Eating a lot of meat or foods that are low in fiber, causing a lot of feces to remain in the colon because it takes at least 72 hours to digest, causing fermentation until toxic gas or bad-smelling farts are form.
  • Eating foods that are high in sulfur or sulfate, such as beans, meat, broccoli, eggs, milk, butter, cabbage, เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา, cauliflower, onions, garlic, chocolate, coffee, cucumbers, fried foods, lettuce, etc.
