This is true that arteries can be stiffer and can also be softer. But do you know that veins can also be stiffer or softer. This fact has come out of a new study that studied some younger and older people and found that the veins of younger people more elastic than the veins of the older people, which allow blood to circulate more freely. On the other hand, the veins of the older people are somewhat stiffer, which impedes the free circulation of the blood that often leads to blood pressure.
However, still it is not possible to tell out that what should be done to keep the veins softer but probably, regular exercise may help.
