Why Binge Eating After 60 Is Risky: Insights by Nutritionist Saleha Bawazir

As we grow older, our body changes and so should our eating habits.
In this insightful video, renowned nutritionist Saleha Bawazir explains why binge eating after the age of 60 can do more harm than good for their bodies overall.

Binge eating refers to consuming large quantities of food in a short period often without being truly hungry. For seniors, this habit can lead to a host of health issues such as:

  • Slower digestion and bloating

  • Increased weight gain and fat retention

  • Higher risk of diabetes and heart disease

  • Weakened metabolism

  • Energy dips and mental fatigue

Saleha Bawazir stresses that after 60, the body’s metabolism slows down, and digestion becomes less efficient. This makes overeating even more dangerous, leading to long-term damage.

"Eating mindfully is not about eating less — it's about eating right, especially as you age."

She encourages elderly individuals to:

  • Eat smaller, frequent meals

  • Include more fiber, fruits, and vegetables in your diet

  • Stay hydrated

  • Avoid heavy, processed foods

Whether you're 60 or above, or caring for someone who is, this video is a must-watch to understand how your food habits directly impact your energy, health, and longevity.
