Eating a high-fat meal can generate a large amount of carbon dioxide, some of which is released as gas. That’s because carbon dioxide is produced in the small intestine when bicarbonate is released to neutralise stomach acid and fat during meals.

2. Avoid high-fat meals.

Use of hot tubs can hurt fertility in men
September 25, 2007
For years, doctors have warned men having trouble conceiving to stay away from hot baths and whirlpool tubs, saying there was reason to suspect that long exposure to hot water could worsen their problems. Much of that was based on speculation. But earlier this year, a team of urologists at the University of California, San Francisco, conducted a study to measure and document the extent, if any, of this effect.
The researchers did confirm the link, and then they discovered something surprising. The study looked at a group of men who were regularly exposed to high water temperatures, meaning for about 30 minutes a week, through hot tubs or hot baths. All the men showed signs of infertility, with impaired sperm production and motility.
