Have you noticed your stomach a little bit bigger, like you are too full, and feel your gut heavy, painful and uncomfortable? Well, that is bloating, and it's way more common than you may think. It happens when your gastrointestinal tract is filled with air or gas and is a process that involves your whole digestive system. Some symptoms of bloating may include stomach pain, discomfort, and gas. You may also hear your belly making funky sounds and feel your food revolving inside. Such a discomfort! Bloating is uncomfortable and very obvious, so we want you to share with you what may be causing that discomfort and you can help prevent it, take a look!

Meal prepping or following a diet may seem harder in seasons like winter or summer, when we either need a lot of calories and warm foods, or we are going out a lot and drinking refreshing but sweet cocktails. But spring is the best season for us to organize our meals and follow a consistent diet, especially because it is also the season where trees, flowers and plants bloom to achieve their brightest and most beautiful colors. On this occasion, we want to share with you a list of our favorite spring fruits and vegetables, so that you can go ahead and add them to your grocery list in order to prepare meals for the season! 

As you may have experienced or noticed, spring is a season for allergies because of pollen. This occurs when a person's immune system overreacts to an allergy, causing the body to produce antibodies that make their way through the cells that release histamine and other chemicals. It is precisely histamine that makes the nose swell and for us to sneeze in an attempt to stop those allergens from entering the body or rather to expel them out. Knowing this, we want to share with you our guide on how to deal with spring allergies so you can enjoy and appreciate spring at its best.
