Toronto cookbook author and fiber aficionado Mairlyn Smith has given us the best new hashtag of 2024: #Fartwalk. It’s a quirky yet effective remedy for post-meal tummy troubles. Smith and her husband’s after-dinner stroll tradition has gone viral, attracting praise from medical experts for its digestive benefits.
… The idea behind the fart walk is simple: it encourages people to get moving and embrace the natural, albeit often embarrassing, bodily function of farting. Smith, who is affectionately referred to as the “Queen of Fiber,” promotes this activity as a way to normalize and destigmatize flatulence, which is a common side effect of a high-fiber diet. By making fart walks a fun and acceptable activity, she hopes to reduce the social discomfort associated with passing gas and highlight the importance of dietary fiber for digestive health.
Here is that video and an interview she recently did to explain the whole thing.
