Either way, they can make you look more tired and older than you really are. One of the biggest reasons people get bags under their eyes is because their parents have them.

If you're a grapefruit lover, reap the benefits of this super-nutritious fruit by enjoying a serving before meals. A half grapefruit or a glass of grapefruit juice before meals may help fill you up, so you'll eat fewer calories at meals and potentially lose weight.
Grapefruits may also offer benefit for controlling blood sugar levels and sensitizing the body to insulin. While taking it to the extreme and following the grapefruit diet is not recommended, adding them in before breakfast, or any time of the day, may offer some health benefits. Before you add grapefruits to your diet, make sure to clear it with your doctor first if you are taking any medication.
