If you think that face puffiness is just a cosmetic concern then you might be wrong!!
It is true that puffiness on our face could make us upset or sad when we see our face in the mirror in the morning after waking up. It is okay if the puffiness appears on the face occasionally but it is a concern if it persists. We could get face puffiness due to several reasons like allergies, dietary habits, fluid retention etc.
These are the important reasons for puffiness on the face
Excess salt intake:
Our body would retain water if we consume excess salt or sodium. As a result, we could get swelling around our eyes, cheeks etc.
Allergies:
We could get inflammation in our face due to allergies. Our eyes and lips might become swollen. There are various triggers for allergies such as pollen, pet dander, certain foods etc.
Poor sleep quality:
There are chances of face puffiness and dark circles etc if we don`t get sound sleep or due to lack of restful sleep. It must be noted that fluid tends to pool under the eyes when lying down too long.
Intake of alcohol:
Not many would be aware that intake of alcohol could lead to dehydration in us. There are high chances of getting inflammation. We could get water retention and face swelling etc.
Hormonal fluctuations:
There are chances of water retention due to changes in hormones during menstruation, pregnancy etc. By this we could get puffiness on the face.
Sinus congestion:
Our cheeks and under eye areas could swell if we have sinus congestion issues. This is due to the inflammation and fluid build up.
Dehydration:
Our body could hold onto fluids if we don`t consume sufficient quantities of water. This could cause swollen appearance especially around eyes and mouth etc.
Medical conditions etc:
Sometimes, the face puffiness m might not be an ordinary issue. Bitter fact is that hypothyroidism, Cushing syndrome and kidney disease etc can also result in face puffiness.
Facial infections etc:
Sometimes, our one side of the face would become swollen and this could be due to cellulitis or dental abscesses.

How will you react if you come to know that childhood obesity has been increasing at an alarming rate across the world? Shocking right!!
Over 39 million kids under the age of 5 are obese and this was according to WHO or World Health Organisation. Not only obesity in the kids would cause chronic illness such as diabetes, heart issues etc in them but it also would affect their social and emotional wellbeing.
Parents would be able to manage obesity in their kids through healthy habits, emotional support and positive reinforcement.
Various ways or tips by which parents can manage their kid`s obesity are
By encouraging physical activity:
Every day, children would require atleast 30 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity. Various physical activities are running, swimming, cycling, dancing etc. Playing outdoor games would also be useful.
By making kids eat balanced foods:
Parents must make their kids eat protein rich foods and fruits, vegetables, whole grains etc without fail. They must teach their kids about food balance and not restrict the kids.
By limiting screen time:
Kids below the age of 5 must be allowed screen time of about 1 hour per day and older kids must be allowed 2 hours of screen time. This was mentioned by the Indian Academy of Paediatrics.
By creating a healthy home environment:
Instead of keeping junk foods in the homes, parents must keep healthy foods like nuts, fruits, yoghurt etc. Parents must never bring sugary sodas, fried snacks etc to the homes.
By being a role model:
It is true that the kids would imitate their parents. Hence, parents must be a role model to their kids. They must adopt healthy eating and exercise habits etc. It is important for the parents to eat food with their kids.
By not using food as reward or punishment:
There are some parents who reward their kids with sweets for appreciating them and punish their kids by food deprivation. This could lead to a bad relationship with food. Parents could appreciate their kids by giving them non-food rewards such as stickers, books etc.
By ensuring proper sleep:
There is a relation between insufficient sleep and obesity in the kids. Therefore, parents must ensure that their kids sleep well by restricting screen time and by creating sleep hygiene.
By taking guidance from paediatrician:
Parents must seek guidance from medical professionals or paediatricians etc if their kid s BMI is above the recommended range.
