How often do you talk about your farts to someone? Not much, right? It's as normal as talking about your urine or stool, really. And if you think your farting has increased and that it's affecting your system, you might want to pay more attention to it. On an average, a person farts up to 14-23 times. Too much, right? Most of these are odorless and undetectable even. But it still makes you feel embarrassed because you try to control farting in public as much as possible, even though you shouldn't. It's one of the signs that your digestive system is working. There are a few tips to keep in mind in order to reduce your farting and amp up your digestive system.

The gas that is in our body is usually due to the air that we swallow. Now, we cannot stop from swallowing air, but we can reduce the intake of it by eating slowly. When you eat fast, you swallow more air. You must eat slowly with your mouth closed. Sit and eat, take your time, give proper time to your food and eat mindfully.

Sitting or laying down for hours together will keep making gas in your system. Instead, keep yourself active. Go for a run, walk, work out. This will keep the digestive system healthy. You can go for slow walks post every meal for better digestion of the food.

Foods that contain carbohydrates along with fructose, lactose, starch and insoluble fiber are the ones that give you more gas. Foods like broccoli, cabbage, whole grains, onion, pears and drinks like beer, soda and other carbonated beverages are the most common gas-producing foods and drinks. Avoid these to make sure you don't get too much gas accumulated in your system.

If you're someone who's very used to chewing gums, you should know that this is making you swallow more air than usual. Instead of chewing a gum, you can try mouthwash to keep your mouth from bad odor.
