Disney princesses face serious real-world health hazards despite their fairy-tale endings, warn experts in The BMJ. Snow White’s lack of social interaction puts her at risk of cardiovascular disease and early death, while Jasmine’s loneliness and exposure to her pet tiger pose health risks. Belle’s close contact with the Beast exposes her to infectious diseases, and Cinderella’s exposure to magical glitter increases her risk of respiratory issues. Pocahontas’ cliff dive would result in severe injuries, Aurora’s “infinite sleep” carries health risks, and Rapunzel’s hair pulling leads to hair loss. Experts recommend interventions like mindfulness and psychotherapy for Disney princesses to live healthily ever after.
