Dark Circle & Snoring Problem
Realise that my dark circles as well as puffines of eyes are getting out of hand. Omg!!Really gotta do something out of it...
Surf the net for more informations and i found this:
Best home remedy for dark circles
The most effective remedy for dark circles is also the most cliche. Thin slices of cucumber applied to your eyes not only helps to lighten the skin, but also soothes and cools the eyes. This can be especially comforting if you've been up late the night before or your eyes are red and tired from allergies or staring at a laptop screen.
Lay down on your back (because it's easier to balance the cucumber slices that way). Lay thin slices of cucumber on your eyes, making sure they have contact with the skin under the eyes. Leave them on for 5-10 minutes. It's a good idea to set your alarm clock if you're doing this early in the morning. Be careful not to get cucumber juice in your eyes.
Tea bags as a remedy for dark circles
The caffiene in tea bags acts as a remedy for dark circles by diminishing puffiness. Caffiene in tea helps to diminish water in the tissues around the eyes (you'll notice that many early eye circle creams contain caffiene for this very reason). In addition, tea contains antioxidants that are beneficial to the skin.
Take a used tea bag (green, black or white) that's been squeezed out. Make sure it's cool! Leave it over your eyes for about 10 minutes. You'll see a noticeable improvement in puffiness and under-eye circles. Be careful not to get tea in your eyes.
Herbal tea bags are not useful as a remedy for dark circles, except for chamomile tea. Chamomile is an anti-inflammatory that can help reduce swelling and puffiness.
MMmmmm...maybe i should really try it. It is FOC anyway..hahahaa..
Another thing i would want to know more about is SNORING problem. Im rather curious over it. Partly because of someone else...who always snore...LOLx... :p
Some possible causes of snoring:
Heredity
The first cuase of snoring can be traced to your genetic makeup. One of the things that can lead to snoring problems in people is a narrow throat, which unfortunately is something that you can inherit from your ancestors. A narrow throat can be a big problem in relation to breathing.
Weight Gain
One of the snoring factors that is often overlooked is weight gain. Excessive weight can lead to fatty tissues beneath your skin. If this tissue is in the neck it can cause your throat to become smaller, contributing to a snoring problem.
Being male
Men have narrower air passages than do women and are more likely to snore
Age
As we get older, our throats can become narrower. Often during middle age, we can start to lose muscle tone in our throats which can lead to snoring problems. If these two factors are combined, it can be that much worse.
A history of smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke
Smoking relaxes muscles and also creates nasal and lung congestion. Exposure to secondhand smoke can cause the same snoring problems as smoking does.
Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol is a depressant and can lead to relaxation in your body. This can include the muscles in the throat and tongue and when they are more relaxed, there's a higher chance of snoring.
Medications
Some medications - antihistamines and sleeping pills in particular - can have the same relaxing effects as alcohol, leading to snoring problems.
Soft Pillows
Pillows increase the angle of your head and neck to the rest of your body, which can cause your throat to become partially obstructed.
And here are some of the self-help for snoring:
Sleep on your side
Sleeping on your back may cause the flesh of your throat to relax into your airway, so adjusting your sleeping position can alleviate snoring.
(Changing your sleep position may stop mild snoring, but severe snorers usually snore in any position.)
Sleep without a pillow
Try sleeping without a pillow; pillows can block your airway by bending your neck.
Eliminate smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke
Stopping smoking can help with the noise and intensity of your snoring. Also, reduce your exposure to secondhand smoke.
Avoid eating food or drinking alcohol before bed
Limit the intake of food or alcohol before bed; do not eat or drink heavily within three hours of your bedtime. These substances relax your muscles and increase the likelihood of snoring.
Avoid high-fat dairy milk products or soy milk products before sleeping
Non-skim milk products and soy milk products, because of their thickness, can keep mucus from draining properly. The result is mucus retained in the throat, which can lead to snoring.
Woah...looks like its really a long entry but a educational one! keke... I think its time for me to try out some of the recommended remedies and not forgetting to help my someone with the snore self-help. =)
