Bags Under Your Eyes

It might seem that bags under your eyes are a sign that something is wrong.

I once worked with a beautiful and lovely young lady who is about twenty-three years old. I think she was, who had perfect body, beautiful, shining hair, straight and clean white teeth, and flawless skin…save that she had layers of bags under the eyes, which made onlookers think she was either fatally ill, had a big time sleep deprivation problem, or had a terrible drug or alcohol problem.

But she was genetically inclined to this cruel feature, one to which no medication applied would lessen or eliminate. Many of us, that is, would think this an unkind hand of destiny having been dealt us.

One’s physical looks is economically motivated (the best-looking people have the most success in the business world, according to some statistic or other).

One’s physical appearance is a major donor to the biological important (eyes spaced just so far apart, lips flush, hips of perfect child-bearing proportions and capacities, according to anthropologist Desmond Morris and others, are signs of evenness and value of species…which possible mates unconsciously measure.

And, of course, physical appeal—youth and beauty at the top of the list of desirable traits—is brainwashed as the be all and end all for this our overwhelming culture.

But in principle, bags under your eyes can be a sign that you have fluid assembly in the loose skin or a filling of the fat deposits in that area (creating shadows), says one health professional at TeenHealthFX.

And casually, you have bags under your eyes (or dark circles under your eyes), as nine out of 10 people do at one time or another in their lives (according to azcentral.com), because of numerous possible (and combined) sources:

--Vitamin-deficiency --Poor diet --Overexposure to sunlight --Overuse (number one culprit: long-term pc monitor-reading) --Sleep deficiency --Allergies --Genetics/heredity --Cigarette-smoking --Disease or illness (or organ damage) --Natural aging --Stress

So the next thing you might want to know is what to do about those bags under your eyes—how to reduce the bags or ease the dark circles.

Here’s where the beauty industry comes in, providing answers from solutions to surgery.

But for some milder cases, good old fashioned organic “remedies” still suffice. Some people apply warm (pre-steeped) teabags for about ten to fifteen minutes.

Others use a slice of raw potato cut in half, each half they put under each eye for about twenty minutes. And still others promise by the standby cucumber slices.

Then again, there are scads of creams and lotions, anti-aging to anti-oxidant, which are asserted to really work for every reason…save the heritable.

Did you know that green tea is a good source of anti-oxidants? Green tea extract contains a potent antioxidant, EGCG, which is over 200 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing the pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack lipids in the brain.Learn more about green tea and its benefits and you’ll be surprised of what it can do for you.
