Some people have blue veins that are visible to the naked eye; but some people can’t see the blue veins at all. What is going on? Is the bursting of blue veins related to the accumulation of toxins in the body? If it doesn’t matter, what physical problem does it portend? Next, let’s take a look with the family doctor.

Why do some people have blue veins, while others can’t see them?

Blue veins are so common, why doesn’t everyone have them? What are the factors related to the bursting of blue veins?

1. It is related to body type and skin texture

Those who are thin have weaker subcutaneous fat , the veins are superficial and easily visible to the naked eye. If the skin is fair at the same time, it is easy to produce more reflected light, making the veins more prominent. Although these people have obvious blue veins, the degree of bulge is relatively low or parallel to the skin, the veins are relatively smooth, and there is no significant tortuous bulge.

2, related to age< /p>

As people age, fat tissue shrinks, skin is thinner, and veins appear thicker due to muscle atrophy that cannot better support and confine veins.

3. Related to physical activity

Exercise the limbs for a long time requires sufficient blood supply , is bound to increase the blood supply to the heart, increase the arterial blood flow, and the venous blood flow will also increase. Because the vein wall is a loose structure, more blood flow will make the vein thicker, resulting in obvious blue veins, which are common in the limbs and the back of the hand.

4. Emotions< /p>

If a person is too angry, blood pressure rises sharply, which increases the load on the heart, accelerates the blood flow in arteries, slows down the speed of venous blood return, and easily causes blue veins to bulge.

Blood veins = toxin accumulation in the body?
