While farting loudly was a lethal attack on your childhood playmates, among adults, loudly farting can drive you away from people and fans alike. However, holding in farts can also lead to health problems, such as bloating, heartburn, and indigestion. Farting is a natural occurrence and should be done by everyone every day. Don't feel embarrassed when you fart, and you can minimize the sound and smell, and change your diet and daily habits to reduce the frequency of farting.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Minimizing Fart Sounds and Smells
Step 1. Let out the fart slowly
Don't fart quickly as it will likely make a loud noise. Take some time and let out the fart slowly. Do this by squeezing your abdominal muscles and taking a deep breath, then exhale as you exhale. Letting out your farts slowly will reduce the sound you make when you fart from your butt. You can also widen your buttocks as far as possible so that the farts come out smooth and wavy. This can sometimes make farts completely odorless.
Step 2. Cough loudly or make a loud sound
Distract people when you fart by coughing or sneezing loudly. This can help mask the fart sound.
You can also make loud noises by pretending to be talking on your cell phone or turning on some music in the room before farting. This can muffle the sound produced by farts
Step 3. Walk while farting
Another option is to fart while moving so that the smell and sound are not focused on you. This way, you won't be a suspect when someone smells or hears your farts, so you don't have to feel guilty when the smell of farts spreads.
Try to find an empty area or space so you can finish your fart without other people around you. This way, you won't be embarrassed when you pass the uncomfortable gas
Step 4. Leave the room or area
Before the fart comes out, get up and leave the area you are currently in so that you avoid crowds of people. This way, you can enter another area or room and fart as you please.
If you are on a train full of passengers, try changing to an empty car before farting. If you're in a busy office, go to an empty meeting room or public area and fart there so you don't disturb other people with the smell and sound
Step 5. Spray air freshener
You can mask the smell of farts by spraying air freshener on the area, or applying hand cream to disguise the smell. Rub the scented cream on your hands after you pass the fart so that the scent of the cream masks any unpleasant odors in the air.
Method 2 of 3: Changing Your Diet to Reduce Gas
Step 1. Soak the beans before you eat them to prevent flatulence (excess gas in the digestive tract)
Almost everyone knows that eating nuts can cause gas. You can reduce the gas-producing effect of beans by soaking dried beans before cooking. Consuming dried beans in place of canned beans can also reduce bloating and gas associated with nuts.
Boil dry beans using fresh water. Using water used for soaking peanuts can actually produce greater gas
Step 2. Reduce consumption of gas-triggering fruits and vegetables
While fruits and vegetables are essential ingredients if you want to live a healthy lifestyle and diet, some types of fruit and vegetables can cause your body to produce more gas. You can relieve the urge to fart by reducing the consumption of fruits and vegetables that trigger gas.
- Reduce consumption of apples, peaches, apricots, bananas, pears, and raisins. Also avoid plum juice because it can make the digestive tract pass gas more often.
- Reduce consumption of artichokes, cabbage, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, green peppers, onions, celery, radishes, carrots, and cucumbers.
Step 3. Reduce consumption of dairy products (dairy), such as milk and cheese
Many dairy products can cause gas and bloating. Reduce consumption of dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and ice cream.
Also avoid packaged foods that contain lactose, such as breads, cereals, and salad dressings
Step 4. Reduce consumption of carbonated drinks
This drink contains a lot of gas so it will increase the amount of gas in the body. Reduce consumption of soda, sparkling water, or carbonated fruit-based drinks. So that the body does not become dehydrated, drink water.
You can reduce the amount of gas in a carbonated drink by opening the lid and letting it sit for a few hours until the carbonation is reduced
Step 5. Reduce alcohol consumption
Drinks containing alcohol such as wine and beer can cause bloating, indigestion, and increase gas production. Especially beer, this drink will release carbon dioxide when drunk which results in a buildup of gas. This condition will result in fart later.
If you like alcoholic drinks like beer and wine, sip slowly and don't rush. By drinking it for a longer time, you will not swallow a lot of air so it does not increase the amount of gas in the body
Method 3 of 3: Changing Daily Habits to Reduce Gas
Step 1. Chew food slowly
If you eat quickly, you will swallow more air with each bite, increasing the buildup of air in your body, requiring you to expel it later. Eat slowly, and chew each mouthful at least 2-4 times before swallowing. This can help the body to digest food properly and reduce gas buildup in the body.
Step 2. Avoid chewing gum and sucking on candy
While you can enjoy chewing gum or hard candy to freshen your breath after a meal, this may make you want to pass gas later. Chewing gum or sucking on gum can increase the amount of air you swallow, which increases the amount of air in your body and must be expelled in the form of farts later.
Step 3. Reduce cigarette consumption
Smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipe hoods can increase the amount of air swallowed, causing a buildup of air in the body. Reduce the number of cigarettes or cigars you smoke each day to relieve the urge to fart.
