Having a flat belly absolutely rocks, it’s means you can wear a tight shirt and not feel self-conscience. It also means you can walk down the beach in your bikini and feel amazing and confident.
Having a flat stomach isn’t the only goal you should have either because It’s important that we eat foods that simply make us feel good inside.
You see…
Often the foods that makes us bloat are usually the same foods we don’t digest well. That means by avoiding foods, which make us bloat we will feel better and as a result also get a flatter stomach.
I hate bloating and because I have a sensitive digestive tract it’s been really beneficial for me to eat foods that match my blood type. I recommend you find your blood type if you’re not sure what it is and then eat the foods suggested. If you’re anything like me you will start feeling so so much better!
