MoreMuscles/Fat Loss: Since veins are the return path to the heart for all blood to body, more use of the body/muscles, ↑es flow & veins enlarge = Healthy. Veins are both deep & superficial. Superficial veins within skin are commonly partially "hidden" within subcutaneous fat. If subcutaneous fat (much healthier storage location than visceral) storage ↓es then the veins become easier to see; both by color & skin shape.
