Simple and complete answers to 12 questions that we have all asked ourselves many times

Burping or belching is your body’s mechanism for releasing excess gas in its digestive system. When you swallow, the food and drinks you consume are not the only thing you take in. You also swallow small amounts of air, including nitrogen and oxygen. Some drinks, such as soda, also contain carbon dioxide. Others may generate gases when they break down during digestion. Soda is a carbonated beverage. Its bubbles are actually tiny amounts of carbon dioxide that has been infused with the water during the production process. The carbon dioxide collects in your stomach as you drink. The more soda you drink, the more carbon dioxide bubbles enter your digestive system. When sufficient amounts of this gas have collected, your body must expel the gas. Burping is one way your body has of relieving this gas.
