Seeing the reflection of the face in the mirror that shows eye bags feels so annoying, right? It's no secret that having puffy eyes is one of the things that disturbs appearance. Its appearance can clearly make the face look tired and older. In general, this condition occurs due to the accumulation of fat or fluid in the lower part of the eyes, causing swelling resembling bags. It turns out that the cause is not only due to lack of sleep. There are several types of foods that, when consumed, can trigger thickening of the eye bags. What are they?

Potato chips and other salty snacks are indeed delicious as a snack, whether it's during work or watching favorite movies. But behind its tastiness, this type of food has a high salt content and carries various health risks, such as heart disease, inflammation, and many more. However, it turns out that it doesn't stop there. Excessive salt intake can cause under-eye bags that can affect appearance. So, start reducing the intake to avoid health problems.

Just admit it, eating spicy food or snacks often makes you addicted, right? Even though the spiciness feels like burning your tongue, the truth is there is an addictive effect that makes it hard to stop consuming. Unfortunately, this type of food is one that triggers eye bags to appear. Chili, which is an important element in spicy food, contains capsaicin. This compound can cause tissue cells in the body to burn or experience inflammation, including in the area around the eyes. This is what triggers the lower part of the eyes to appear swollen.

Burger or pizza is often an alternative menu for practical and simple food to consume when busy. But, it's no longer a secret that consuming too much fast food also has a negative impact on health. Fast food also has a high salt content, which is almost 2,000 mg per serving. This amount certainly exceeds the average level that can be consumed by each person per day. When there is too much salt intake, the body will retain a lot of water. One of the effects is the appearance of eye bags.

Who can resist the temptation of sweet food? It's no secret that this type of food can be a comfort food that boosts mood. However, limit consumption so as not to overdo it. Because excessive sugar levels can cause inflammation in the body. One of the most visible effects is the area around the eyes appearing puffy. This condition occurs because the skin around the eyes is very thin and therefore more at risk of swelling.

Maybe many of you experience allergies to dairy foods or processed milk products such as cheese, packaged milk, and yogurt. These products are known to trigger inflammation and swelling reactions for those who have allergies. So, if you are someone who has allergies to processed milk products, it is best to stop consuming them because one of the effects can also cause the appearance of bothersome eye bags. If you have been experiencing troublesome eye bags, try paying attention to your daily diet again. Perhaps one of the triggers is the food consumed daily.
