                        AVOIDANT/RESTRICTED FOOD INTAKE DISORDER (ARFID) It is a Gen-z thing and it has not left any corner untouched.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterised by a limited intake of food due to avoidance or restriction, but not necessarily due to body image concerns. Unlike anorexia nervosa, people with ARFID are not preoccupied with weight loss or body shape. Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of ARFID: Limited food intake: People with ARFID may eat very little, have a very restricted variety of foods they'll consume, or both. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies and health problems. Reasons for restriction: Sensory issues: They may dislike certain textures, smells, tastes, or colors of food. Fear of negative consequences: They may be afraid of choking, vomiting...
