Farting does not burn calories because it is a passive process. Taking short walks after eating can help release farts and reduce bloating. Farting can indicate a balanced diet or a food allergy.

Farting is a normal part of digestion. Certain foods, drinks, and habits make gas worse. Too much gas or pain can signal a gut problem. See a doctor if farting comes with new or severe symptoms.
