Dark rings around eyes can be caused by iron deficiency, says Britain's leading nutritionist Jane Clarke. Anaemia is a sign that not enough oxygen is getting to the body tissues. There are several types of anaemia, but iron deficiency is the most common.
This can be treated easily in many cases by eating right food, the online edition of Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
"Our bodies need iron to manufacture haemoglobin, the red pigment which carries oxygen to the cells. Dark circles alone do not indicate anaemia," he said.
"You will also suffer from constant tiredness, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, poor memory, frequent colds and infections, and pale skin.
"It's something that generally affects women more than men - partly because of the menstrual cycle."
