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.
