Does the human body need to break wind?


Question:
Please settle an arguement, i think that the human body needs to break wind and not doing so is unhealth as your not getting rid of excess gas. My wife denys point blank that she has ever broken wind and that the body doesn't need to!!

Whos right??

Answers:
When gasses are created in the digestive system, it is nature's way of controlling discomfort by expelling those excess gasses though their rightly course, the rectum.
If your wife believes that it is unladylike to pass gas, and defers to policy over organics, then she may spend a lot of uncomfortable hours.

Tell her she farts like a soldier when she's sleeping.
She farts in her sleep
It's a normal biological function..it doesn't mean you should be able to let loose in front of everyone..have some respect for your wife and step into the bathroom to do your thing.
Your wife is lying through her teeth. Everybody farts, from the smallest amoeba to the largest whale. This includes wives. If we don't fart, we explode. It's really that simple.
I have a hard time believing she has never broken wind.
It is a natural process of your body.
It has to come out of either end!
flatulence is natural, so as long as it's not done excessively, it's alright. too much breaking wind indicates a problem though.
My grandmother always told me "Better an empty house than a bad tenant."..Of course there must be a natural expulsion of too much gas. Your wife is just unaware of natural bodily functions because she prefers to ignore them.
Go ahead and let it fly, just don't annoy her with it. It is a natural healthy process of the human body. Everything that goes in must come out. She passes gas also, don't let her fool you, if she doesn't know it she even does it in her sleep! Here is some information:
******************************

Gas

Also called: Belch, Burp, Eructation, Flatulence, Flatus
Everyone has gas. Most people produce about 1 to 4 pints a day and pass gas about 14 times a day. Passing gas through the mouth is called belching or burping. Passing gas through the rectum is called flatulence. Most of the time gas does not have an odor. The odor comes from bacteria in the large intestine that release small amounts of gases that contain sulfur.

Gas in the digestive tract comes from two sources: air that you swallow and the breakdown of undigested food by bacteria in the large intestine. Certain foods may cause gas. Foods that produce gas in one person may not cause gas in another. Drinking lots of water and non-fizzy drinks and chewing food more to lessen the amount of air you swallow when you eat can help reduce gas. For people with lactose intolerance, avoiding milk products will help.
