Description
Summary:Numerous diets for losing weight, building strength, and managing a range of cardiovascular, neurologic, and skin diseases have become popular in recent years. The ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting in particular have shown promising results in clinical and sports medicine. The Mediterranean diet, in turn, is widely recognized for its numerous health benefits. Also popular are the paleo diet and vegan and gluten-free diets. Positive effects on inflammatory conditions, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and acne, have been observed in patients who practice intermittent fasting or follow ketogenic or Mediterranean diets. This last choice may also protect against certain skin cancers. We review the role of several popular diets in the management of skin disorders. Se han popularizado diversas dietas para perder peso, incrementar la capacidad física y para el manejo de múltiples enfermedades crónicas: cardiovasculares, neurológicas o cutáneas. Destacan la dieta cetogénica y el ayuno intermitente, con resultados prometedores en la medicina tradicional y deportiva. Además, la dieta mediterránea se ha consolidado como una forma de alimentación de impacto positivo muy significativo en la salud. Otras dietas populares son la dieta «paleo», la dieta vegana y la libre de gluten. La dieta cetogénica, el ayuno intermitente y la dieta mediterránea aportan resultados favorables en dermatosis inflamatorias como la psoriasis, dermatitis atópica, hidradenitis supurativa o acné. La dieta mediterránea podría actuar también como factor protector para el desarrollo de algunas neoplasias cutáneas. En este artículo presentamos una revisión del papel de diversas dietas populares en el manejo de dermatosis.
