Healthier diets develop higher amounts of gas

According to a study published in the journal Nutrients, people with Diets month healthy tend to have more expulsions of gases.

This is because the most nutritious foods of these Diets they have more healthy bacteria which settle in the intestines.

Healthy diets generate more gas

According to the study, the Diets rich in: fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes produce about 50 percent more than gases, Among other effects.

And is that the Diets enriched with fiber and plants, such as the Mediterranean, generates bacteria in the intestines that ferment, such as: ‘Anaerostipes hadrus’ and ‘Agathobaculum butyriciproducens’.

This fermentation allows the gut to produce the nutrients it needs to feed; however, in its process it creates greater:

• Number of anal gas evacuations
• Feeling of flatulence and bloating
• Volume of gas after a meal
• colonial content

So the researchers determined that the gases and copious stools are an indicator of healthy intestinal bacteria and good digestive function.

How was the study of healthy diets conducted?

To find out how food affected digestive function, several tests were performed comparing one diet western type and one diet Mediterranean enriched with fiber.

20 men between the ages of 18 and 38 took part in this test, who were given one diet for 2 weeks; and during this time they are taken record of:

• Anal gas evacuations
• digestive sensations
• Volume of gas evacuated after a probe meal
• colonial content
• Taxonomy of the intestinal microbiota
• metabolic functions

And the results pointed out that the diet Mediterranean develops, according to the “profiles of urinary metabolites and the abundance of microbial metabolic pathways” better metabolism.

Besides, both Diets they were well accepted by the body and associated with a positive mood.
