However, there are many other facts related to farting. Here are 12 unknown facts about farting which might be surprising for you.

  4. And yes, by farting 14 times a day, we actually blow the air which is enough to fill up a balloon.
  5. This is not something to be humiliated about as it implies that you are healthy. A sound digestive tract produces flatulates. If you are not flatulating at all, go to the doctor.
