the more exertion, the more blood flow. Check out the veins on most atheletes. As to the feet, you ought to be sure it's just that, and not related to varicose veins. The latter implies problems with the valves in the veins, which generally happens in legs, not arms. It can lead to secondary problems such as chronic swelling, skin breakdown, blood clots. So people with varicose veins in their legs are well-advised to use some sort of support hose. Talk about "ewwwww!"
