Why are my eyes so dry and baggy?
By Olivia Rose ND – Naturopathic Doctor
Your eyes are tiny windows into your health. As a naturopathic doctor, I learn a lot about a person’s nutritional status and overall health during an eye exam. When your eyes do not produce enough lubrication, the result can be dry, red and irritated eyes, also known as dry eye syndrome. The tears produced by the lacrimal glands of each eye prevent the accumulation of dust and bacteria and keep your vision clear. With age, the skin surrounding your eyes naturally begins to sag due to a loss in elasticity; however, there may be other causes for the sagging such as seasonal allergies, poor diet and insomnia.
Keep an Eye on Your Diet and Your Environment Caffeinated beverages, alcohol and foods high in sodium disrupt your body’s
delicate electrolyte balance and lead to dehydration.
A dehydrated body leads to dehydrated, puffy eyes upon waking up in the morning. If you suffer from allergies, the high levels of histamine in circulation can lead to itching and habitual eye rubbing which may provide temporary relief, but eventually stretches the delicate skin around your eyes. Limit caffeinated beverages and alcohol especially close to bed time. If you suspect that you may have allergies, see your health your doctor for an assessment.
