According to Jason Rosenberg, professor of medicine at the University of Copenhagen, each person averages 'bombing' 10 times in 24 hours, with a total of about 1 liter of steam. This gas is a combination of the amount of food that our intestines cannot absorb, which is converted into a vapor by bacteria, including nitrogen, CO2, and hydrogen.

So why are we more likely to "deflate" in the air?The main reason is air pressure.

When flying high, the air pressure is reduced, the amount of gas in the body will "hatch " more than 30% compared to normal, so it often gives us a feeling of abdominal discomfort and want to "fart" .

There are people who are afraid of being embarrassed and try to keep the air out, but this is a bad thing for health. If kept for too long, these substances will be absorbed back through the intestinal mucosa, causing the risk of chronic poisoning, abdominal distension, chest tightness, headache, dyspepsia, especially intestinal inflammation.

Especially for those who are older, fasting without "deflating" can also adversely affect the operation of the heart.

Food is also a cause for you to "fart" more on airplanes by flying for a long time, the body is not exercised much, the food is not digested in the stomach down the colon are Bacteria continue to decompose and excrete emissions. They accumulate at some time too much and must escape through the anus.

But don't worry, because according to Rosenberg, airlines are using coal for air filtration systems, because coal absorbs very good odors.

At the same time, the airline's food will also focus on providing more carbohydrates than fiber, such as fish, rice, dairy and fruit juices, to facilitate the system. Digestive system does not leave much undigested food in the intestinal tract.
