Food Aversions

Food aversions are strong feelings of dislike or avoidance toward certain foods, often resulting from negative past experiences, such as illness or unpleasant tastes. This can happen during pregnancy, where women may develop aversions due to hormonal changes. The body may perceive specific foods as harmful, leading to avoidance. Aversions can also stem from cultural influences or individual preferences. While they are generally harmless, they can affect nutrition and eating habits. Understanding these feelings can help individuals navigate their dietary choices and maintain balanced nutrition.
