As we age, certain things are inevitable—and the mirror doesn't lie.
No matter how we try to elongate our neck and suck in our cheeks, we look
puffy and round-faced, especially the morning after an evening of imbibing.
That puffiness is really just inflammation—excess water in the extracellular
matrix. Cells have leaked their vital intracellular water, and a lack of
circulation has made the excess water pool in tissues. While inflammation is
more apparent around the eyes, it happens all over the body.
