Burping and farting are not a sign of bad manners or lack of bon ton. Rather a natural manifestation of our body. That’s why burping then is so much good for your health.
Burp and fart why not?
We imagine we are in a restaurant and suddenly the urge to burp arises in us. We certainly feel discomfort in the presence of other people. Yet among certain peoples, such as the Arabs, not to belch at the end of a lavish lunch would rather be considered an unequivocal sign of bad manners for not having enjoyed the meal. Whether you belch or not, whether you are ashamed or not, depends rather on social conditioning.
Walking down the street we are ashamed to fart because it is considered an improper act. If, on the other hand, it was considered a highly appreciated act, then everyone would gladly fart competing.
In Africa in the Maasai tribe, we greet each other by spitting. And this gesture is considered even sacred! Behavior that in our country would cause the worst reactions, and this is because it is considered a sign of a serious offense.
But let’s look now from the point of view of health.
That’s why burping is so much good for your health. Why do you burp?
Gas is formed in the stomach due to both the ingestion of air and digestion itself. The gas is formed by the wrong combination of foods, which ferment. Likewise, air is ingested along with food, when chewed and swallowed too quickly. In order not to make the stomach become like a balloon, the organism causes the belching mechanism, which releases the gases due to digestion.
Burping should be natural and not arouse wonder.
Excessive burping indicates some health problem. It may be that there is too acidic activity of the digestive function, or it may be the beginning of gastritis. They are indicative of the need for medical supervision.
Some advice
To absorb excess gas, activated charcoal is very useful. If, on the other hand, you have acidity problems, a light sprinkle of chilli, as mentioned in this article.
But to prevent gas from forming in the stomach, it would be better to combine foods well, and not eat quickly.
From a health and social point of view, therefore, one should never hold back a burp or a fart.
