Hollywood actress Demi Moore fights stigma surrounding farting with new ‘farts’ guidebook

Did you know that holding in farts can be bad for you?

Holding it in can cause it to build up, resulting in abdominal distention, bloating and abdominal pain!

Hollywood star Demi Moore is tackling the stigma surrounding farting, so much so that she has teamed up with Wonderbelly Antacids to promote their new book “An Adults Guide to Farts”.

Speaking to People Magazine, she said: “Digestive health is an important yet often taboo topic.”

“As babies, we’re celebrated for bodily functions like pooping and farting, but as adults, we often hide these normal processes.”

“Conversations I had with Lucas, a founder of Wonderbelly, inspired the ‘An Adult’s Guide to Farts’ book, highlighting that accepting these functions is better for our physical well-being.”

She also stated: “While the book is funny and light-hearted, it has a message about self-acceptance, a read about farts that aims to make readers smile, feel more informed and be less embarrassed about their bodies.”

Noah Kraft the Boss of Wonderbelly also chipped in and said: “We have this big mission around de-stigmatizing issues like eating disorders all the way to farting.”

“There are things that we should be a little bit more comfortable talking about.”

Fun Facts about farting:

Women may actually do it more than men; they are usually more discreet about it.

An NBC news report suggests that upon release, farts can travel about 10 feet per second.

Farts can actually be flammable if they contain hydrogen and methane.

The oldest joke ever recorded about farting dates back to 1900BC, “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.”
