Abstract

Introduction: adolescents are part of a group considered vulnerable in their nutritional needs, lifestyle and environmental influences. Objective: to investigate the influence of diet on adolescent health. Method: Integrative Literature Review that included Clinical Trial studies published between 2014 and 2018, available from the PubMed (US National Library of Medicine) and VHL (Virtual Health Library) databases, using the descriptors “Adolescent Health” AND “Healthy Diet". Results: out of the 3.478 articles, 41 articles were elected resulting from the electronic search of the two databases accessed, of which only nine were selected for discussion because they met the objective of this study. This integrative literature review indicated that healthy eating improved the nutritional status of adolescents and also improved their school performance. It also promoted diabetes control by increasing the intake of fiber-rich foods with low glycemic index. In obese patients, adopting a more active lifestyle with reduced Junk food consumption is the basic preventive measures for metabolic health. Conclusion: a healthy and balanced diet in adolescence promotes health with effects that can extend into adulthood.
