what's got us buzzing Caution! Farty foods ahead 🤔 Why do some foods make you fart? Certain ones contain compounds that create gas when broken down by bacteria in the gut. Others have types of sugars (e.g., complex or sorbitol) that the body has trouble digesting. Gas can also be caused by inhaling too much air when you eat or drink. 🫘 Which are the fartiest foods? If you're going on a hot date with someone new or just don't feel like tooting all night, you might want to avoid the foods below. Not pictured: Brussels sprouts, broccoli, peaches, pears, cereal, wheat, and oats can make you gassy, too. (Fun fact: Rice is the only grain that doesn't lead to excess fartage!) Follow Healthline on Instagram for more posts like this! 💨 What's a normal amount of gas? On average, most people fart at least 14 times every day. Folks living with gut health issues or conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome may pass gas more often. To toot less often, try: adjusting your diet swallowing less air when you eat taking probiotics changing your posture (to an upright position) using a heating pad mixing in other home remedies If you're concerned about fart frequency, consider seeing a doctor to make sure all's well in your digestive tract.

Great finds My favorite blender       nutribullet Personal Blender I've been using the nutribullet for the last 7 years, and the same one I bought is still kicking! It blends super well, takes up minimal cabinet space, and is easy to use and clean. Just fill up the cup with veggies, fruits, or liquids, screw on the lid, twist it into the motorized base for a few seconds, and you're done! I use it every morning to make a green smoothie and then throw a to-go lid or lip ring on the blender cup so I don't have to wash a million parts.
