What do you get when you combine extreme weight-bearing exercises and extremely low body fat?
Enlarged veins.
Tough workouts combined with skinny limbs can lead to bulging veins in the arms, as exhibited by 50 year-old age actress Meg Ryan, says Victoria Teodorescu, a vascular surgeon at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
“Heavy lifting can lead to bulging veins in the arms, in men and in women,” said Teodorescu. “Look at those photos of Arnold Schwartzenegger in his prime.”
Enlarged veins, not to be confused with varicose veins, are also a product of aging.
Most people don’t do the kind of high-powered upper body work that’s required of a woman in the spotlight.
Hard-working ladies in the entertainment industry like Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore and Sarah Jessica Parker have all been praised for their age defying physiques but bashed for their exercise-induced arm veins.
While Teodorescu says she sees plenty of patients who are unhappy with
their veiny hands, it’s much more common for people to have enlarged
veins in their legs.
After all, they’re the ones doing heavy lifting -- your body -- all day long over the course of your entire life.
As we get older, we begin losing subcutaneous fat, which makes veins stand out more.
“Gravity works against us as we age,” said Teodorescu. “Like everything else, veins begin to sag.”
