What Can You Learn About Your Body From Your Farts?

by December 9, 2016

No matter how old you get, flatulence is always the stuff of comedy. Farts can be funny or unpleasant, but did you know that you can learn about your body via fart? You can, and you can actually diagnose possible health issues through them too.

First off, what exactly is a fart? A fart is basically trapped air being released from the body. You can get this air from swallowing it from chewing, or it can be gas going into our intestines from the blood, and some gas is produced by chemical reactions in our gut. You can also have excessive gas from bacteria living in the stomach. Typically, a fart contains 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, and 4% oxygen. Sulfur has a low percentage of about 1% and that is what causes farts to smell foul.

Now that we know the anatomy of a fart, what can we learn about our bodies through our farts? Farts come in many different forms. They can be loud, quiet, stinky, not stinky, etc. Extra stinky farts are usually an indicator of excess hydrogen sulfide. This is caused by the digestion of foods with sulfur in them.

Farts that are super stinky, and occur right after the ingestion of dairy, indicate you might be lactose intolerant! They can also be a sign of different bowel conditions such as IBS (irritable Bowel Syndrome). An indication of a healthy fart is when they are mostly quiet, and do not stink! 99% of farts are usually odorless gasses. All farts, in general, are a sign of good health, unless it is followed by discomfort, bloating, or pain. These symptoms can be key to discovering a food allergy.

How To Alleviate Stress Stored In The Physical Body

by December 9, 2016

In the modern world, it is impossible to avoid stress. We are stressed about education, our health, debt, bills, and personal business. Stress can have a real toll on your body. It can even cause you to have a heart attack, have hair loss, constipation, and several more. These are the most discussed side effects of stress, but one effect that is commonly ignored is that you can store stress in your physical body.

Too much stress can cause you to develop allergies, sensitivities to certain foods, environmental agents, and chemical agents. People suffering from too much stress can suffer from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, PMS symptoms, and headaches. It is important to address the amount of stress you are dealing with to prevent worse health issues it can cause in the future.

Stress is most often stored in the largest muscles of the body, the iliopsoas. This is a combination of two muscles called psoas muscles. The muscle stretches from your back to the front of the hips where it meets the other muscle that stretches from the top of the thighs to your sides. The muscle is often referred to as the “Muscle of The Soul”. Stress and trauma are stored in the muscle causing negative effects on the body. Containing too much stress can affect your ability to think clearly.

Release The Stress!

Cranial Sacral therapy is a form of therapy that is a gentle way of bodywork that addresses the bones of the head, spinal column, and sacrum. It causes a release of compression in those areas which alleviate stress and pain. The point of the therapy is to move the bones back into their original position. According to the National Headache Foundation, approximately 28 million Americans suffer from migraine headaches. Often, migraines are triggered or exacerbated by stress and poor sleep. In a study published in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine, researchers found that participants who received bodywork like Cranial Sacral Therapy had better quality sleep and fewer migraines than participants who didn’t. Effects even lasted up to three weeks after therapy ended.

Another useful way to relieve stored stress is through yoga. Yoga practices the stretches of the muscles to release tension and increase flexibility and durability. No matter how you look at it, stress is a plaque onto the body. Be sure to take time every day to assess the amount of stress you are holding onto, and learn ways to alleviate it! It can be a key to a happier, more successful life.

Smartphone’s Light Affects The Brain And Body (Infographic)

by December 9, 2016

As you might have noticed, our smartphones are designed to have a light come off of them in order to keep us able to see the screen throughout our average day. This is something that can confuse our brains.

This happens because the light imitates the sun, in doing so our brain might believe that it is day time when it is night time. This reduces the bodies melatonin production, and causes sleeping issues. Studies have shown that teens are much more prone to these issues than adults.

In order to help yourself you need to do a few things:

  • Reduce the usage of electronics right before bedtime.
  • Use apps like flux that changes the phone’s display settings at night and during the day.

Doing just these two things will make you feel and sleep much better. Just because we grow up around technology does not mean we have to be controlled by it. Our heath is at risk and it shouldn’t be. Take a look at the infographic below.
