Smelling Your Partner’s Farts Will Help You Live Longer

#1

A recent study published in Medicinal Chemistry Communications says that smelling your partner’s farts will extend your life, although it sounds as though the quality of that life will be quite shitty.

One of the researchers, Dr. Mark Wood, said:

Although hydrogen sulfide is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could, in fact, be a healthcare hero.

It turns out you were doing your friend a favor when you cupped your hand to your butt, farted, then swiped it into their face.

According to a study, the smell of farts, or hydrogen sulfide, can have some incredible health benefits.

#5

Farting helps the farter live longer, but the smell of the farts can quell dementia.

More nerd talk from another researcher, Professor Matt Whiteman:

"When cells become stressed by disease, they draw in enzymes to generate minute quantities of hydrogen sulfide (aka ass gas)."

#7

"This keeps the mitochondria ticking over and allows cells to live. If this doesn’t happen, the cells die and lose the ability to regulate survival and control inflammation."

This research is interesting but of course in its early stages with no real conclusions being made.

However, next time your partner has a go at your for farting, just tell them you are doing it out of the kindness of your heart.

So next time you're in bed letting off a stinker, make sure you lift the covers and let your partner really take in what you have produced.
