5 Lessons We Can Learn From Mermaids (To Prevent Hip Pain)
When you’re young, you often don’t think about what life will be like when you’re old. There could be hip pain involved, but there doesn’t have to be!
Just follow these lessons we learned from mermaids (we swam across parallel universes and dimensions to get these for you!), and you could be splashin’ across lakes and seas with Sirens and creatures well into your golden years!
- Don’t Have Hips. (Mermaids don’t).
- Well, if you insist on having hips…Swim! Or bike, jog, run – just move! This will keep your joints flexible, and could also keep you at a healthy BMI, and your hips just may thank you for it later.
- Eat Seaweed. Or any leafy green, really. They’re great for preventing inflammation of the joints. If you really want to emanate a mermaid, take it straight out of the ocean – we won’t judge!
- When in Doubt, Sing (before it’s too late) – Take this literally – singing can boost your mood, and laughter is the best medicine, as they say. So just enjoy your youth, before a certain sea monster makes you sign a contract and you have to get a certain Prince to kiss – well, you know how the story goes.
- Now Take #4’s Advice, But Metaphorically. Use your hips, before it’s too late! Sometimes, hip pain occurs because of genetics, and no matter how hard you tried in your youth to not become one of those terrible-looking old people (and we know you tried everything from juice cleanses to spin class), you could very well still end up with hip pain.
