Don't Fight The Fart

November 24 2020

I’m not married, nor do I have a boyfriend…or even a friend with benefits. However since reading a study about how a mans flatulence has some impressive health benefits…I’m reconsidering my single status.

A study was conducted by the University of Exeter where researchers examined the health effects of smelling a partner’s farts. Farts are filled with hydrogen sulfide.

While researchers are still investigating its full impact, studies suggest that the smell of hydrogen sulfide can help ward off cancer, stroke, and heart attacks along with slowing the development of arthritis and dementia.

However, in my opinion, growing old with someone, while slowly developing dementia and finding yourself in a fart filled room with someone you don't recognize has disaster written all over it. They also discovered a compound called “AP39”. When your body is fighting a disease, your cells often become worn out from the battle and work to build hydrogen sulfide to boost the cell’s abilities. After being infused with hydrogen sulfide, the cell’s mitochondria keeps going, giving it the strength to continue fighting and living. If cells don’t have the hydrogen sulfide needed to empower them, they will ultimately die, allowing the body to become overrun with disease.

So having a man around to rip some smelly farts my way, might just be the added health benefit I’m missing for a longer, healthier life.

There are also numerous articles written, stating married people live longer than single people. All this time I thought it was because of the continuous affection and companionship……when, in fact, its probably due to the abundance of stinky farts.

But that’s just my opinion…:)
