Nutrition transition

Nutrition transition refers to the shift in dietary patterns and lifestyle associated with economic development and modernization. As countries develop, people's diets tend to move from traditional foods like grains, fruits, and vegetables to more processed foods, high in sugar, fats, and animal products. This change often leads to increased rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. It reflects broader societal changes, including urbanization, changing work habits, and globalization, which influence what and how people eat. Understanding this transition helps address health challenges linked to modern dietary habits.
