Pescatarian

A pescatarian is an individual who primarily consumes fish and other seafood, but does not eat meat from land animals. The term is a portmanteau of "pesce," the Italian word for fish, and "vegetarian." Pescatarians may also consume eggs, dairy products, and plant-based foods. This dietary choice is often motivated by health, environmental, or ethical considerations. Pescatarians typically avoid red meat, poultry, and other land animal products, but may consume white meat such as pork and lamb. The pescatarian diet is generally considered to be lower in saturated fat and higher in omega-3 fatty acids compared to a standard omnivorous diet. It is important to note that while the pescatarian diet can offer numerous health benefits, it may also lack certain nutrients found in meat, such as vitamin B12 and iron. As with any dietary choice, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to ensure that nutritional needs are being met.
