What Your Farts Are Telling You About Your Health

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)

Farts can say so much about your health and wellness, almost making it pertinent that we pick through the topic much more openly than we currently do.

Extremely stinky farts could reveal a health concern worthy of paying attention to.

If your farts don't have any smell, they're healthy and normal, and merely mean air has accumulated in the body and is now exiting.

There's a compound within farts called hydrogen sulfide that gives them their rotten-egg stench, and it can actually be good for your health.

A small study found that the smell of farts, or hydrogen sulfide, can have some incredible health benefits, like helping the person who farted live longer, while the smell can quell dementia.

Smelling farts can also help with heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
