Propagação do corpo ideal nas mídias sociais e sua influência no comportamento alimentar de adolescentes: uma revisão narrativa da literatura

Abstract

Adolescence marks a phase of autonomy in dietary choices, but it is also associated with inappropriate eating behaviors. The influence of the media in promoting unattainable beauty standards is highlighted as a risk factor for the development of eating and body image disorders among adolescents, particularly females. The distorted view of the "perfect body" and the adoption of media-standardized eating practices contribute to disordered eating behaviors. In order to assess the influence of the spread of the "ideal body" on social media on adolescent eating behavior, a narrative literature review was conducted, allowing for a detailed analysis of different perspectives and available research, providing a solid foundation for our analysis. In conclusion, the influence of social media on adolescents' perception of body image is evident, with potential negative impact on eating behaviors. Intervention and education strategies are essential to promote a healthy relationship with body and food.
