The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure

I don't buy it. Research (done by me, in my house) shows that men who create vast quantities of H2S can still have high blood pressure.

So it basically boils down to: Which would you rather have? Grandpa with hypertension, or grandpa who farts all the time?

Oh great, fart pills.

It's funny too, because overweight people often have high blood pressure, and overweight people are often made fun of for farting (esp men). so..

If this is true it adds more weight to the phrase "tight assed."

Wow, girls never have high blood pressure?

I'm a girl with hypertension. Yes, girls do have it.

I love this new excuse for farting, too!

"Sorry, just adjusting my blood pressure..."

future boy: "mom I can't find my nasal inhaler!"

future mom: "dad just ate a breakfast burrito, if you can sit tight for about 5 minutes we won't have to call the ambulence"

Best I ensure that my bf reads this not...Man his fart -stinks-It lasts only awhile...Thank god..:)

this was not mentioned, but perhaps farting a lot may be a SIGN of hypertension because your body does not hold in the hydrogen sulfide long enough for optimum use(?). so it would make sense that overweight people and/or people with high blood pressure fart a lot. the scientists working on this should look into remedies that will naturally create the gas but at the same time hold it in so your blood may absorb it, so basically it will make you NOT fart. then again, it may make you bloated or constipated. interesting!

i'm gonna show THIS to my gf

Mooncake may have a point but there are other aspects to consider relative to maintaining the H2S in one's system. I try not to keep it trapped in my body and so voluminous quantities may be in my house. Although my BP is low, my wife's fluctuates directly with the amount I release. I don't understand this phenomena since my releases are pleasantly fragrant like a fine perfume and, as its said that laughter is the best medicine, I am able to laugh away all of my stresses while she just increases hers along with her BP. My sister, who produces volume sufficient to cause people who get out of her car to get a case of the bends when moving to the lower pressure of the outdoors, also keeps her BP low by enjoying the various musical tones she creates and the sights of her passengers bailing out and trying to recover from their intolerance. So, as Tommy Chong once said, "It's a natural function, man", let 'er rip and enjoy your good health!

Helpful stuff. Blood pressure and hypertension have been interests of mine for a long time, and I think that a balanced holistic approach is overall the most promising. You have to eat healthy, exercise, and regularly watch your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and then things should be not too hard. We have lots of info on all that on our site, everyone interested is welcome to take a look.
