A member asked:
Veins in my legs are very visable. not like vericose but can see actual veins. i workout a lot. am i dehydrated ? is this a concern ?

Likely not a problem: Dehydration leads to flat veins that are harder to see. If they are not varicose veins, then your body fat content is likely just low leaving the veins exposed.
