Sometimes, passing gas in front of other people is unavoidable. After all, it's a completely natural process, and everyone does it! If an accident does happen in front of your date, the best thing you can do is shake it off, laugh it off, and stay focused on the other person.
Most gas passed during flatulence goes unnoticed because there isn't a smell. It may contain odorless gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane, but a small portion includes hydrogen sulfide, which causes it smell like rotten eggs.
Foods that are high in dietary fiber are great to eat before a big date because they've been shown to reduce inflammation in the brain that's linked to anxiety. Opting for plant-based foods such as lentils, beans, nuts, seeds and grains can help you feel calmer and at ease.
Dates are an excellent source of fiber, which, surprisingly, can have a reverse effect in this case. If you haven't been taking enough fiber, consuming too many dates simply means the intake of fiber in excess – and this sudden surge can lead to abdominal problems like constipation and bloating.
Smelly foods
Avoid eating raw onion, garlic and radish. For obvious (smelly) reasons. It's a no brainer that bad breath can end a date just as it begins. It could also be something you ate or drank (garlic, radish, onions, coffee, canned fish) in the past 24-48 hour or a lingering effect of cigarettes.
Just like you swallow air to make yourself burp, similarly by letting air in and out of your ass can make you fart easily. For this lie down on flat ground and pull your legs towards your head. Now relax your rectum and let the air seep in slowly. Keep at it until you feel bloated and a butt bomb bubble up.
Farts show you're comfortable.
If you're comfortable enough to fart in front of your boyfriend, there's truly nothing you can't do in front of him.
Dates are healthy when consumed in moderation. Date consumption in excess can result in some adverse effects, including diabetes and weight gain. Consuming 2-3 dates on an empty stomach each day protects you from a variety of health problems.
While you should never eat food past it's “use by” date, the “best before” date gives you a little bit of wiggle room. It refers to quality, so food is still safe to eat after the given date, but the flavour, smell or texture may be affected.
Those having a food allergy from dates or have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or sensitivities should also skip eating dates due to their high fructose content. Apart from these conditions, anytime is a good time to eat dates and enjoy its health benefits.
Here's why you should consider dates for weight loss:
Dates are high in fibre and a great source a protein, due to which you feel full for a longer time and it also boosts your metabolism. The protein from dates helps maintaining a healthy mass and a high volume of dietary fibre keeps hunger pangs at bay.
Foul-smelling farts usually come and go. If that stench keeps coming, though, it may be a sign that something isn't quite right inside. Conditions that could cause smelly farts include: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), including disorders such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Only 1 percent of the gases expelled in farts smell bad. These include foul-smelling gases such as hydrogen sulfide. More than 99 percent of the gas that people pass consists of just nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane.
“The gas molecules, including methane and hydrogen sulfide, will eventually diffuse through the bedding and into the air,” explains Alex Klotz, an assistant professor in the Physics Department at California State University, Long Beach.
Yes! We can eat dates at any time of the day, and bedtime is no exception. Because of their low glycemic index and high fiber content, the consumption of dates before sleeping can be great to reduce those late-night food cravings.
