Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between the consumption of sugar and processed foods and physical appearance, addressing aspects such as skin quality, body weight, and hair health. Through interviews with nutritionists specializing in clinical and hospital nutrition, and research in databases such as Scielo, Google Scholar, and BVS, the main negative effects of excessive consumption of these foods were identified. The results suggest that replacing these foods with healthy options is essential to maintaining quality of life and self-esteem. This study contributes to the understanding of the importance of healthy eating in maintaining physical appearance and overall health.
