When I woke up this morning, I noticed that my eyebags looked a little larger than usual. I worried that I might be having allergies again from last night’s dinner. I get allergic reactions to some seafood causing my face and eyebags to swell but that is on rare occasions only.  To be sure, I went to my doctor for a checkup. Well my doctor said I don’t have to worry about allergies this time. She suspects that I am dehydrated because of the dark circles around my eyes. My eyebags just look swollen because of the dark outline around it. She suggested that lots of fluids, preferably natural fruit juices.

Dark circles around the eyes  can be caused by so many factors. Most common is hereditary of course, meaning you cannot do much about them (just blame your parents). Some other factors are dehydration, lack of sleep and long hours of PC work. Dark circles can also be symptoms of much more serious health problems like poor circulation, iron deficiency, anemia, or kidney problems. Some of the less serious causes can be remedied naturally by taking more fluids, and getting enough sleep. For the other factors, I suggest seeking medical advice.
