Causes and Solutions for Puffy Eyes

Today, I’m going to tell you how you can easily get rid of puffy eyes. Puffy eyes are also referred to as eye bags or periorbital edema. Puffy eyes are often treated medically with steroids, antihistamines, and other medications.

Cucumbers and undereye patches can provide temporary relief but do not solve the problem.

High levels of sodium can cause puffy eyes, and the kidneys are often involved, but the root cause of puffy eyes is too much sugar in the bloodstream.

When you have too much sugar in your bloodstream, you also have too much insulin in your bloodstream. This can eventually lead to insulin resistance and cause your body to retain sodium.

After long periods of excessive sugar consumption, your kidneys can become overloaded. This often shows up in the eyelids before other parts of the body.

Excessive sugar consumption causes fluid retention and sodium retention along with the following:

•Decreased potassium

•Activation of the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight)

•Increased renin

If you want to get rid of puffy eyes, you need to remove the sugar from your diet. You should also increase your potassium intake.
