Burping Lets Out Extra Air
We burp because our bodies need to get rid of extra air that sneaks into our stomach. When we eat or drink too fast, or swallow while talking or laughing, air goes down with our food. That air builds up and needs to come out, and that’s when a burp happens! It’s like a little “thank you” from your tummy for letting the gas escape.
It’s a Natural Body Sound
Burping might sound funny, but it’s normal. Everyone burps, even babies! It helps keep our stomachs from feeling too full or uncomfortable. Some foods and fizzy drinks make us burp more, like soda or bubbly water. So next time you let out a little belch, just remember, your belly is just doing its job!
