Q. Is holding in farts harmful to your health?

A.

Held-in flatulence is absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall, then either expelled through respiration or eliminated through urine via the kidneys. Since this involves the reabsorption of toxins, it is advisable to release it whenever possible.

📝 Detailed Answer

방귀를 억지로 참으면 장이 빵빵하게 부풀어 올라 장 운동을 방해하고 복통을 유발합니다.

입 냄새의 원인이 되기도 하고 피부 트러블을 일으키기도 합니다. '자연의 부름'을 거스르지 마세요.
