Actor Madhoo Shah, known for the film Roja, recently reflected on how her relationship with food and fitness has evolved with age. She shared that in her younger years she could eat freely because she stayed extremely active through running, dancing and sports, but later realised the importance of portion control as lifestyle habits changed and exposure to diverse cuisines increased. Experts say this shift is common because metabolism slows with age and physical activity often decreases, making mindful eating and quantity control essential. Madhoo also noted that today’s “culture of excess,” where socialising revolves around food, can encourage overeating, highlighting the need to balance enjoyment of food with regular exercise and awareness of portion sizes for long-term health.
