- When meshing under the eyes it is useful to eat ripe papaya more often and to drink tomato juice with the addition of mint and lemon juice.

- The accumulation of fluid in the tissues prevents the refusal from the use of spicy and salty foods, physical activity, regular physical education, especially useful to jump rope and trampoline, as well as tap dance.

If you treat your body more carefully and carefully, pampering it with a full sleep, healthy food, good physical exercise and positive emotions, you will probably not only get rid of such an unpleasant defect as bags under your eyes, but you can avoid many health problems. .

There are practically no fat deposits under the skin around the eyes, so it is very gentle and sensitive to all external stimuli. And if some kind of malfunction occurs in the body, then, first of all, it is reflected in the eyes.

Most often, swelling and bags appear under the eyes in the morning. The reasons may be varied:

1. If the swelling is not constant, but only from time to time, then most likely the reason lies in the excess fluid in the body. Water in the cells can linger because of salty food, if it is eaten for dinner. Therefore, try to avoid such dishes. Also, do not drink coffee and plenty of water at night. Enough to take a couple of sips to quench your thirst.
2. Use in the afternoon. Alcohol, like salt, retains fluid in the body.
3. Strange as it may sound, but the lack of fluid that enters the body also leads to puffiness. To avoid this, it is enough to drink 2 liters of water per day, most of which you need to drink in the morning. If you drink less than this, the body will begin to store water and store in the form of edema. By the way, and too intense training, if after them do not fill the water balance, can cause the appearance of edema.
4.   and lack of sleep is another important reason for the appearance of edema. In order to look rested, a person needs about eight hours of sleep. And it is important to go to bed before 10 pm. Only hours of sleep from 10 pm to 6 am will help the body recover. And do not cry before bedtime, for you can wake up with big bags under your eyes.
5. Pay attention to the position of the head during sleep. It is necessary to choose a pillow on which the head will be slightly higher than the body.
6. Improper diet and diet, affect your appearance in the same way as a late dinner. Therefore, everything should be in moderation.
7. Be sure to remove the makeup from the face before bedtime, let your skin breathe. And you do not need to apply a nutrient immediately before you go to bed. Especially if your cream creates a film on the skin, then in the morning you can wake up with swelling.
8. Edema may also occur if you overstrain the eye muscles. This happens if you sit at the computer for a long time, draw, watch TV. Eyes need a rest.

In all these cases, you can remove bags under the eyes by eliminating the very cause.

Medical reasons

One of the factors affecting the appearance of edema under the eyes is age-related changes in the body. So, over the years, the muscles around the eyes atrophy, the skin loses its elasticity and hangs. In this case, you will help massage this area. In addition, with age, fat can accumulate under the skin of the eyes. In this case, weight control and massage will help. And if such bags do not disappear during the day, only surgery can help.

But the swelling that occurs due to illness is more difficult to cure. Because you need to know what kind of disease caused the bags under the eyes. And there are a lot of them:

1. Diseases of the kidneys, liver and digestive tract.
2. Endocrine problems, unstable hormone levels.
3. Unhealthy cardiovascular, urogenital and nervous systems.
4. An allergy that can be triggered by various factors. In this case, you need to eliminate what is allergic and take antihistamines.

If the edema occurs abruptly and is accompanied by some symptom, for example, MirSovetov recommends immediately to consult a doctor and not to self-medicate. If a person is healthy, then swelling under the eyes should pass a maximum the next day.

Swelling in children as well as in adults are for two reasons:

1. Due to diseases such as kidney problems, increased, diseases of the cardiovascular system and thyroid, allergic reactions.
2. In these cases, we need a mandatory consultation with a specialist who will send for tests and prescribe the best treatment.
3. Due to non-disease factors. So, swelling can cause a long cry, drink before bedtime, salty food and sleep, in which the head is below the body. If you eliminate all these causes, the swelling will pass by itself.

Why do bags appear in pregnant women?

Bags in pregnant women is a phenomenon that is rarely described as pathological. More often during childbearing in the female body the metabolism changes, the accumulation of salts and water retention in the subcutaneous layers of fiber increases. If the circles appeared during the third trimester, and the girl’s well-being has not changed, then this phenomenon is physiological and temporary.

If bruises appeared suddenly in the first trimesters, and this was not preceded by the use of spicy, salty or smoked dishes, then there is a pathological factor. Pregnant women most likely circles under the eyes occur in connection with violations of the kidneys or with preeclampsia.

Causes bags under the eyes of infants

In newborns, a slight swelling of the face, accompanied by swelling under the eyes, is a normal phenomenon associated with squeezing of the head during childbirth. Because of this, blood circulation is disturbed and a specific problem arises. Bruises under the eyes may be present and not be considered pathology for up to three months due to unstable hydrolability (water exchange in the body).

An infant may have bruises on the eyelids due to systemic or functional impairments:

• hemolytic disease - a conflict between the Rh factors of the baby’s and his mother’s blood;
• congenital heart disease;
• high intracranial pressure;
• hepatic pathology;
• congenital hypothyroidism;
• viral or bacterial infection, etc.

If the appearance of bags under the eyes is accompanied by the appearance of auxiliary symptoms (fever, painful sensations, weakness and dizziness, discoloration of urine, abnormal stool), then you should seek the help of a doctor. The peculiarity of bruises under the eyes of a pathological nature is their rapid formation, which, even without additional symptoms, should be a pretext for medical consultation.
