Pescarianism is a way of life in which the meat of warm-blooded animals is excluded from the diet. However, such a restriction can not adversely affect health if you correctly compose a nutrition menu.
Pesquarians replace meat and poultry with seafood. Also, the use of other sources of protein is not prohibited: eggs and dairy products. The only rule that must be observed is a varied and balanced diet.
They think about excluding meat from the diet not only for ethical reasons, but also in order to improve health. This diet is recommended for people with obesity and heart and vascular diseases. This is explained by the content of saturated fatty acids (harmful cholesterol) in meat products, leading to blockage of blood vessels, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
This menu is suitable for both short-term diets and as the main diet.
