Health
The release of gases is an indicator of a healthy and well-functioning digestive system, as well as a balanced level of intestinal bacteria.
When you release gases, you get:
9% nitrogen
21% hydrogen
9% carbon dioxide
7% methane
4% oxygen
1% hydrogen sulfide (this is what gives the “aroma”).

If you contain gases, you may experience abdominal pain. So when the gases are released, the pain will subside. However, if there is neither room nor time for the process of letting the winds out, try simply stroking your stomach so that gas does not stagnate in the digestive system.

If you stick gases or try to release them little by little, in a dosed manner, it can harm your large intestine. And if you suffer from hemorrhoids, then if you contain gases, you will worsen your condition. Also, if you have problems with the large intestine, then you should never restrain your impulses.
