Bags Under Eyes

Bags under eyes

The tissues under the eyes have a flat gently tense tone in your youth but along with the age and other factors muscles under your eyes begin sagging and a bulge is formed. This is what is known as 'bags under eyes.' In medical terms it is called protrusion blepharochalasis.

It mainly forms because of certain factors like the normal ageing, fatigue or being allergic, swelling, obesity, and certain other medical problems. The eyes are surrounded by protecting fat. The facial eyelid muscles and skin hold this retro-orbital fat in place resulting in a youthful line starting from the eyelashes to the cheek.

Bags under the eyes indicate a large intestine problem, or kidney problem. The bags right under, straddling the lower eyelids are kidney bags and the one below them are large intestine bags. Alcohol, smoking, stress, aging, too much work, or lack of sleep are lifestyle issues. They are not the cause of the problem. These only aggravate the problem. All it starts with is the accumulation of the crap and mucus inside you.

Formation

Under eye bags are formed from gentle pressure on this lax muscle, ligament and skin wall. In some cases there is extra fat behind the support wall creating the baggy eyelids. Sometimes there is relaxed extra skin causing the eye bags. Otherwise the lid muscles are just thickened. Upper eyelid bags can be the result of drooping eyebrows. Eye bags can be because of: -

1) Blepharochalasis - Uncommon combination of protruding skin folds of eyelids, severe thinning of lid skin, recurrent episodes of lid swelling and inflammation.
2) Dermochalasis - Extra skin
3) Hypertrophy of the orbicularis muscle - Eyelid muscle overgrowth
4) Protrusion of intraorbital fat
5) Browptosis - Baggy upper eyelids from drooping brows
6) Combination of the above problems

Puffy bags under the eyes, especially in the morning, may indicate a lack of protein. Water retention, swollen ankles, puffy face and hands, can also result from a protein deficiency. Nails are made of protein, not calcium as some think. A protein deficiency can be marked by split, extremely thin nails. Nails that fail to grow quickly lack protein. Use more - milk, cheese, eggs, a fish, poultry and meat.
