If the dark circles under your eyes evoke images of boxing matches, it may be time to get more sleep. But it could also be more serious. An underactive thyroid or a sensitivity to certain foods could be to blame.
Take action:
If you’re sleeping well, but still have circles under your eyes, consider eliminating possible food triggers from your diet. Start with wheat and then try milk – these are common culprits. If the situation improves upon elimination, discuss possible food substitutions with a dietician. Also cut down on your salt and alcohol intake and drink at least eight glasses of water per day. If the problem persists, pay a visit to your doctor.
