Ailment: Flatulence
The problem: Even the most refined of us occasionally has a little excess gas but some men fart like teenagers on a camping holiday. It’s neither big, nor clever, and can be extremely embarrassing for the man and offputting for everyone else.
How to treat: Avoiding food which contains unabsorbable carbs, like beans, cabbage and raisins will help. Switch to smaller, more frequent meals.
Embarrassment factor: 7/10 – it’s hard to maintain an air of rugged mystique if you’re bottom-burping every two minutes.
