Meal prepping is a very useful task that will help you maintain a balanced and organized eating schedule by preparing your meals ahead of time. Not only will this save you a lot of time in the future, it will also keep you on track with your diet goals by thinking ahead of time what you should eat and not what is easier or faster to make at the moment.

Having pre-cooked meals can also reduce portion size and help balance your stress eating, plus your drive to eat easy, fast or frozen foods that contain way too much preservatives. By doing this, you will avoid unhealthy options that pop up especially when you are overwhelmed or very tired. In the long run, meal prepping will lead to more nutritious meal choices.

There are different ways to meal prep and you can find the one that suits your lifestyle best. On this occasion, Waku wants to share with you these methods, hacks and tips so that you can get started on your very own meal prepping journey, and make the most of it to stay on track with your health and wellness goals!

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.

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.
