A Pescatarian Diet and their Nutrients

Pescatarians are people who eat seafood but not meat. This means that their diet consists mainly of fish, shellfish, and other seafood items. While there are many healthy seafood options available, pescatarians should be sure to include a variety of seafood in their diet to get the most benefit. Pescatarians should also be aware of the potential health risks associated with consuming too much seafood, such as mercury contamination. However, when consumed in moderation, seafood can be a healthy and delicious part of a pescatarian diet.

Pescatarians enjoy many of the same nutrients as vegetarians, including fiber, vitamins C and E, folic acid, beta-carotene, and magnesium. They also consume omega-three fatty acids, which are linked to numerous health benefits like reduced inflammation and a lower risk of heart disease. In addition, pescatarians get the added benefit of protein and minerals like zinc and iron that are found in fish. While a pescatarian diet isn't for everyone, it can be a healthy way to eat for those who enjoy seafood.
