People often ask you about your health issues, your stress level and office or study workload because you have dark circles? That’s obvious! Dark circles are generally taken as a hygiene problem, however a sufferer of dark circles knows about the stability of his health and stubbornness of the dark circles.
Dark circles may occur due to unstable lifestyle and eating habits. Therefore the very first step towards improving the condition of dark circles is to essentially take an 8 hour night sleep and improve lifestyle. A change in eating habits can be brought by taking in larger quantities of vitamin A, C, E and B12. Daily exposure to sunlight, a 30 minute walk or 15 minute rope skipping, drinking 12 glasses of water and 2 glasses of fresh juice and 30 minute soul relieving activities can really help reduce the dark circles. A glass of milk daily and iron rich foods like green vegetables are ideal internal treatments for dark circles. Protein and iron deficiency have appeared to be as a common cause of dark circles.
