Why Holding It In Can Harm Your Health

Farting is a normal bodily function, and while social situations might make us want to hold it in, it’s generally better to find a private place and let nature take its course. Your gut will thank you, and your body will feel a whole lot better. When gas builds up in the digestive tract and has nowhere to go, it can cause bloating. This often leads to a swollen, tight feeling in the abdomen, and can be quite uncomfortable. The pressure can make it hard to focus, move freely, or even sit comfortably.
