The Pescaterian Diet

The pescetarian diet is a dietary pattern that includes plant-based foods alongside fish and seafood, while excluding meat and poultry. It typically incorporates a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, pulses, nuts, seeds, dairy products and eggs, depending on individual preferences.

 

Fish and seafood provide valuable nutrients, including high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, selenium and vitamin B12, making them useful components of a balanced diet. From a nutritional science perspective, the health benefits of a pescetarian diet depend on the overall quality, variety and balance of food choices rather than simply the exclusion of meat.
