Food Influencer Suggests That an After-Dinner “Fart Walk” Can Help Your Digestion [Video]

Eating right is only part of proper nutrition. You need to also consciously consider how you are digesting your food. Influencer Mairlyn Smith proposes going on a “fart walk” about an hour after you eat. This is a walk in which you let rip with any flatulence you feel forming in your body or, as I call it, a walk.

The New York Post explains the science behind the trend. The motion of the abdominal muscles during a walk encourages intestinal activity. To optimize your flatulence, walk with your hands behind your back and your neck flexing in front of you. Smith and her husband engage in fart walking as a couples activity. Think of it as a bonding opportunity.
