Globally, the population is experiences increasing food consumption shifts, various diet patterns and also alterations in the entire food choices as well as the lifestyle pattern. The increasing pressure of under-nutrition and deficiency diseases in emerging countries has demonstrated the negative consequences of a dietary transformation on the functionality of immune system. Both under-nutrition and over-nutrition are likely to coexist for a long time in the vast majority of nonindustrial nations, creating a two-fold pressure of hunger and illness. The increasing figures of obesity, degenerative and non-communicable disease, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases highlights the changes occurring in dietary patterns and altered lifestyle. The functioning of the immune system is dependent on proper nutrition and hence requires a regular intake of all the essential vitamins and minerals. The alteration in the diet as well as the lifestyle of the population are not able to provide these necessary minerals leading to a reduction in immunity levels hence prone to more diseases. This review paper gives an insight on current global trends in eating patterns and lifestyle transitions among the population due to urbanization with a focus on the outcomes on the functionality of the immune system and health.
