Hello Angels,

Summer is coming and it is time to wear bodycon dresses, shorts and skirts. There is nothing worse than waking up in the morning and look fat than usual. One day you have a flat belly, the next day, your belly looks bigger.

Many people confuse about it and they think they gained weight overnight. Of course it is impossible. We can’t gain weight overnight just as we can’t lose weight overnight.

Bloating doesn’t only make your belly bigger but can cause discomfort and pain. The good news is you can avoid this condition with some tricks.

Most people experience bloating all the time. Simple lifestyle changes and exercises can prevent it from reoccuring.

There are some foods that are hard to digest for some people. Lactose in diary, gluten and many other foods can cause bloating.
