Nutritionist Emphasises That Passing Gas Isn't A Crime

In the same video, the nutritionist notes that women in perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause experience a slight slowing of digestion, especially when the weather changes. When that happens, according to Diwekar, people tend to pass wind or gas.

But she adds, “If we (women) actually had the confidence of men, we would lift our butt to pass wind, but because we are women, we have learned to constrict ourselves every single time. So I just want to say to every single woman out there, passing gas is not a crime, don't worry about it.”

Rujuta, however, suggests, “Use these three hacks so that the digestion is smoother, it's easier, it's fewer hot flushes, and it's better sleep and better digestion.”

The dietician concludes by mentioning, “Don't let the heat get to you. These 3 simple hacks will keep you cool.”
