Angelina Jolie is always in the media spotlight for one reason or another. What is it this week? Veiny arms.
Yup, and the Daily Mail is reporting that her workout routine may be the culprit.
That sounds about right as bulging veins can be caused by weight-bearing exercises. This bulging vein process, known as filtration, causes a swelling and hardening of the muscle that is noticed during exercise. As a result of this swelling, the veins are pushed toward the skin surface and appear to bulge.
These veins are more visible in persons with less fat, like Angelina. This bulging has been found to be neither good nor bad but simply a result of some bodies normal way function when working out.
If you don’t have a lot of body fat and do a lot of exercise (like she claims) then the fat gets stripped away and the veins become exposed. Think about all the veiny body builders out there – same concept.

Jolie is in the news a lot because narcisssists such as herself will do anything to get attention and narcissistic supply – to them everything is an opportunity to expose themselves.
As for her veiny arms – eating disturbances and personality disorders go hand in hand.
Lena, do you think she’s truly narcissistic or have we (meaning the media and people like me that talk about her) generate a buzz that doesn’t even exists?
I believe Jolie suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder with strong Narcissistic traits and she is addicted to the attention. The media/public also seem to have a fascination with Narcissistic people at the moment (Madonna, Cruise, Beckhams, Hilton etc), which is very unfortunate,
