A member asked:

Is sleeping or bathing after eating cause fat body?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Food that we eat is stored as body fat if we eat more than we burn off in daily activities or exercise. Overeating is the source of body fat, but it is not a good idea to eat within two hours before retiring.
