Aesthetics, cellulite, gynoid lipodystrophy, nutrition.Abstract
Inadequate eating habits negatively impact aesthetics, especially in women who experience dysfunctions such as Gynoid Lipodystrophy (GL). Many people still do not associate healthy eating with better aesthetic results, contributing to an increase in problems related to improper diets. This study conducted a bibliographic review, consulting databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and SciELO, with the objective of analyzing the influence of healthy diets on the aesthetic treatment of GL. The search used the following descriptors: Gynoid Lipodystrophy AND Nutrition, Gynoid Lipodystrophy AND Diet, Fibroedema Gelóide AND Nutrition, Fibroedema Gelóide AND Diet, Cellulite AND Nutrition, and Cellulite AND Diet. Five selected articles indicated that diets rich in vegetables can improve the condition, while protein-rich diets help with weight loss and improvement in the appearance of cellulite, especially on the thighs. Despite challenges in adherence, balanced diets and weight loss are fundamental for cellulite treatment.
