Los Angeles: Actress Vanessa Hudgens beleives "all girls" struggle to tone their stomach, but she wants women to be more grateful of their bodies because of the functions they carry out.

"I think the stomach region for all girls is something we all struggle with. The pooch! I think we all know what that pooch is. (Women) work so hard to make (the pooch) go away," Hudgens told people.com.

Although the former "High School Musical" star feels women are conscious of their body, she thinks one must not be so critical of it.

"I don't think we give our bodies enough gratitude for simply just doing what it does, without us telling it to do it. Just the fact that it can digest food for you and keep food down and fight off bacteria. Realising that has helped me love my body a little more," she said.
