For some reason, palmistry is considered a pseudoscience, meaning that it is impossible to know the future from the lines on your hands.

So why do we need lines on our palms? Let's figure it out together.

Scientifically speaking, the lines present on the palms and folds of the fingers help the skin on the hands to stretch and contract.

In the human body, the hand is one of the most active parts of the body, which is forced to cope with a large number of physical activities every day.

In order for the hands to be able to perform these tasks, the skin on them must be able to adapt to a wide variety of difficult positions.

As we have already said, you should not study every groove on your palm with a magnifying glass in order to find out what awaits you in the future.

However, lines on the palms can indicate certain diseases. Sometimes a single palm crease indicates health or developmental problems.

For example, this feature is sometimes found in children with Down syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, or Shereshevsky-Turner syndrome.

But when making a diagnosis, doctors rely not only on this, but also on other factors.
