Will drinking water at night cause eye bags?

Everyone has different living habits. Some people have the habit of drinking water before going to bed, while others like to drink milk before going to bed to facilitate sleep. However, some people say that the habit of drinking water before going to bed at night is not a good habit and it can easily cause bags under the eyes. In short, everyone thinks that what they do is correct, so will drinking water at night cause bags under the eyes? Everyone needs to understand this issue in detail, and science has proven that drinking water before going to bed can indeed easily cause bags under the eyes.

1. Why do people have bags under their eyes?

Eye bags can be divided into two categories: congenital and acquired. Most people's eye bags are acquired. Because the skin around the eyes is very thin, it is prone to relaxation and atrophy, resulting in edema, which becomes more obvious with age. This is related to factors such as staying up late for a long time, heredity, poor body metabolism, and improper massage. Many people try to get rid of eye bags by drinking less water, getting more rest, applying eye cream, or even undergoing surgery, which is effective to a certain extent, but have you really found the root cause of large eye bags?

2. Eye bags are caused by "spleen and kidney deficiency"

"Spleen deficiency causes big eye bags, and kidney deficiency causes dark eye bags." The formation of eye bags is closely related to dysfunction of the spleen and kidneys. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the "innate foundation" and are responsible for water metabolism; the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" and are responsible for the transportation and transformation of water and moisture, and are responsible for the body's muscles. The spleen and kidney functions are weakened, the metabolism of water and moisture is poor, the circulation of qi and blood is not smooth, the eyes are not nourished, the skin and muscles of the eyes are loose and inelastic, water, moisture, phlegm and fluid accumulate in the eyes, and over time the eyelids droop and bags under the eyes are formed. In addition to large eye bags, dark circles will also form. In addition, spleen and kidney deficiency may also cause abdominal distension and poor appetite, severe distension after eating, limb fatigue, tiredness, shortness of breath and laziness to speak, weight loss, or obesity and edema, pain in the waist and knees, and difficulty urinating or frequent urination.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to prevent and treat eye bags?

For people with poor spleen and kidney function, it is very necessary to reduce water intake and eat less fruit at night. In addition, they should also take ingredients that nourish the spleen and kidneys or medicines that strengthen the spleen and remove dampness to fundamentally prevent the occurrence and aggravation of bags under the eyes.
