Pooot...! Eeeew! And the smell is overwhelming!

What is stinky and never fails to get the giggles and sometimes the blame?  Whether you blame it on a stranger or your friend within your vicinity, farting (passing gas through your anus) is a normal bodily function.  But, is it possible to fart too often?  Does your daily farts tell you something? 
What is a fart? "Flatulence,” a fart is simply an internal build-up of gas. Farts are made up of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen.  Do you know... that farts are silent and odorless?  Only around one percent of farts produce a foul smell.

Nutrition: About Fats and Oils 

 Feeling breathless? Fatigue all the time? Challenged with hypertension, diabetes or high cholestrol? Obese? Are you a high risk profile for stroke and heart attack? 
Time to take care of your heart health by  - Encouraging healthy fats in the diet. How? By replacing animal fats with vegetable fats
- Decrease levels of saturated fats (fats that come from meats, poultry, cheese, dairy products and tropical oils - e.g. coconut and palm oils) to reduce their risk of heart disease. 
- Replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats, which include polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats.  This decreases the levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol as well as fats in the blood called triglycerides, which are risk factors for heart disease.
Studies have shown that if people replace saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats, they reduce their risk of heart disease somewhat more than if they replace saturated fats with monounsaturated fats. Replacing saturat…
