Your partner's most disgusting habit helps you live longer

Let's face it, farts are completely normal and we all do them, even if we don't like to admit it. Men usually don't bother farting too much, while women don't like to pass gas in front of their man. If you are one of those people, before whom your partner has no qualms and often "let loose", we have good news for you. Farts have a positive effect on your health.

The power of a husband's fart

Researchers at England's University of Exeter found that hydrogen sulphite, which is the main reason farts have such a characteristic stinky smell, can have small amounts beneficial effect on health. And no one is better than your husband or partner to deliver these doses to you on a daily basis.

Biomedical scientist Aj Troiano told the Best Health portal that if we want to understand farts, we also need to know a varied scale microbes, which live in the human body. This is not about microbes that have protective functions, but about by-products that are secreted during normal metabolic processes in the body. An important by-product in this case is hydrogen sulphite, which is excreted in the form of farts.

What does science say about farts?

The aforementioned study found that this smelly microbial byproduct we all hate could reduce the chances of cancer, heart attacks, strokes, arthritis and dementia. Your partner actually take care of your health, even though you don't smell that much.

What can you do as a wife or partner?

If your partner is really an extreme gasser and you are still concerned about your health, your partner can pass prevent or at least reduce by not filling it daily with food full of beans and other ingredients that cause more frequent discharges.

But the next time you find yourself in a smelly situation, which is bound to happen, just take a deep breath and realize that you are taking care of your health. Occasionally, you also take care of your partner's, because there is nothing wrong with that.
