Burping..Annoying yet Interesting
Small or big, a
burp is enough to grasp momentary attention, have you been there too? The small
structured cloud made out of air coming from the inside of your own body, how
magical this sounds.
Burp is like a revision
to self, of the food you gobbled down your throat when you felt hungry, passing
through all your taste buds, indicating you are stuffed, bravo!
The taste buds
ahh! Active both before and after too, with burping you can still taste the
delicious treat you gave yourself just a while ago. Guilt follows only if it
was too creamy or cheesy, otherwise, it’s just amazing.
Why
Do We Burp?
Burping is an obvious phenomenon of releasing the gas that occupied the space in your stomach
or upper intestine before and while you ate. That’s normal and truly ok!
While eating food
we also swallow air, especially when we are super hungry. Once we are done,
that’s when the air gets released, while still eating or after finishing
it.
This also happens
when we are breathing too much while talking or chewing gum or drinking mainly
with a straw or with pauses in case of hot drinks.
Although there
are a few more reasons which can be related to the disorder so you better keep a
check.
There is a
certain condition classified for burping anytime without a cause like an ulcer
or gallbladder issue. It’s like an itch to burp and then after sometime burp
again.
