Have you ever belched after a meal? How did you feel after belching? Although some people consider belching a bad habit, there are many health benefits that result from it.
Belching helps the food we eat to digest better and faster. Children normally feel uncomfortable and restless when they eat without belching. Belching relieves them of the discomfort.
Belching, after taking aerated drinks like beverages, helps us to pass out the gas content in them. Beverages contain acid, which is capable of making us heavy and develop a bloated belly. Belching also helps us to pass out carbon dioxide from our body. This helps in preventing bloated stomach and chest pain.
