My uncle eats red meat, and he's anaemic. So even meat eaters can have low iron levels. It would be a good idea to get your iron levels monitored by a professional in the medical field. See a doctor to rule out any underlying health problems.

Increase your iron intake. Fortified breakfast cereals provide iron that is easier to absorb than other veggie sources such as nuts, but make sure you are eating a variety of foods. Also, increase your Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) intake by eating nuts and drinking fortified soya milk. Read the label to made sure it has added Riboflavin. (Good sources of riboflavin include whole grains, mushrooms, almonds, leafy green vegetables and yeast extracts).

Your lifestyle plays an important role. Ensure you are getting enough exercise and gets lots of sleep. I can't emphasise this enough- sleep will work miracles on dark circles caused by tiredness or stress. Make sure you drink plenty of water too, and manage your stress levels by spending time with your friends.

Good luck =]

Answer 7

Some people say if you put cold tea bags on your eyes for 15 mins, the caffeine in it helps.  Hope that works for you!  Good luck!

Answer 8

Are you getting enough sleep?   Are you stressed out?  Those could also cause dark circles.

Answer 9

You need to monitor how many calories and how much nutrition you are getting.  Eat fortified breakfast cereal with soy milk for breakfast and a bedtime snack.  Eat a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, faux meat, and stay away from the junk.

That will help you a lot nutritionally.  Get at least 7.5 hours of sleep per night and drink enough water.

That's what works for me.
