In the age of advanced technology, most of us spend most of our time on mobiles and laptops. Even children are not spared from this. They also spend most of their time on gadgets. Sometimes for their work and sometimes for just fun and entertainment.

Engagement on gadgets has increased even more due to COVID-19 as more people are working remotely. This has led to increased workload and pressure, which has affected our eating habits and lifestyle. Unfortunately, prolonged use of gadgets can have a direct impact on our eyes, which is a cause for concern.

CAUSES OF DARK CIRCLES

Before jumping on to the Home Remedies, it is important to understand what can be the causes of dark circles.

1) AGING

As we get older, our skin loses elasticity and moisture due to the loss of collagen, and it becomes thinner. This makes the blood vessels beneath the eyes more visible, resulting in the under-eye area appearing dark. In some cases, hollowness under the eye that occurs as a natural part of the aging process may also present itself as dark circles.

2) ANEMIA

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by a lack of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, which is called anemia. This can be due to insufficient dietary intake or absorption of certain nutrients, particularly Iron and B12. However, anemia can be treated with the right diet and by consuming iron-rich foods.

3) LIVER PROBLEM

 In some cases, dark circles can be indicative of an underlying liver problem. The liver plays a crucial role in filtering toxins from the body, and when it isn't functioning properly, it can lead to a buildup of toxins that can cause various health issues, including the appearance of dark circles around the eyes. If you notice persistent dark circles, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying health conditions.

4) SMOKING OR CONSUMPTION OF EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL

 Sometimes unhealthy habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption are known to have a significant impact on the skin around the eyes, making it look dull and lifeless. These habits can also affect the blood circulation around the eyes, causing dark circles to appear. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep dark circles at bay and achieve healthy, glowing skin.

5) HEREDITY

The skin under the eyes is the thinnest and most delicate skin of our body. Therefore, blood vessels are more visible in this area, which can give a bluish tint to the skin, resulting in the appearance of dark circles or under-eye darker areas. It has been observed that in some cases, this problem of under-eye darker areas can run in families due to heredity.

6) ALLERGIES

Eye allergies can often be the underlying cause of dark circles. When the eyes are affected by allergies, they tend to itch, causing people to rub them more often. This frequent and vigorous rubbing can damage the delicate skin around the eyes and the thin blood vessels underneath, ultimately leading to the formation of dark circles.

7) LACK OF SLEEP

Everyone needs to get at least 8 hours of quality sleep each night. If you wake up frequently during the night or do not get enough sleep, it can lead to fatigue and, over time, result in dark circles under your eyes.

8) EXCESSIVE SUN EXPOSER

Sun exposure can stimulate melanin production in the body. The skin surrounding the eyes is particularly thin and vulnerable to pigmentation if not well-protected while outdoors.

DO VEGETARIANS LACK PROTEIN IN THEIR DIET?

By nishu narula
Image source: pexels.com/edited Is that true...? Do vegetarians not get enough protein from their diet?... No! it is not at all true. There is a common misconception that a vegetarian meal does not provide enough protein. Vegetarian foods can be a great source of protein too. However, vegetarians must plan their diet well. They must eat their food in particular combinations to provide the body with nutritionally complete protein because no single grain or vegetable contains complete protein that is found in eggs, fish, or meat. This means that vegetarians must combine different types of food to obtain all the essential amino acids required for the body to function correctly. For instance, beans and rice eaten together provide complete protein, but neither food does this when eaten in isolation because the key amino acids that are missing from beans are found in rice. Similarly, lentils and chickpeas can be combined with roti or rice to create a complete protein. WHAT IS COM
