Why do Veins Pop Out?

in #science7 years ago

Men are bigger and have more muscles in their arms and they usually do have larger 'popping out' veins, Many people believe that it is a sign of being thin, or fit and lean. Thus, it is quite a desirable trait for a good chunk of the population. However, some people are also wary of this. You should know what the visibility of veins through the surface of skin signifies.

How do Veins Pop Out?

There are many causes for popping out of veins in the body. Basically, there are two major factors that contribute towards popping out of veins.

The first is genetics. Genetics represents an important role in determining whether or not there will be popping out of veins visible on the outside of the skin. The other factor is having a  high muscle mass and low body fat percentage. 

Do Veins Pop Out After Workout?

Many people think that veins are especially seen to pop out after workouts. This is, however, a misconception. When a person does any other physically demanding activity, the heart rate and strength of contraction of heart muscles rise and blood is quickly pumped into the arteries, and also raising your temperature making your veins pop out which is the second major factor!

Many people find it a desirable trait even tho some people considers it to be a sign of aging because as a person ages, the skin of the hand becomes loose and 'wobbly'  and the veins of the hand then become more apparent on the surface of the skin. So it is best to try to concentrate on keeping the body fat content under control and stay healthy rather than concentrating on getting your blood vessels to pop out!
