Pescetarian
Pescetarian eating combines vegetarian principles with the inclusion of fish and seafood. This flexible approach provides the health benefits of plant-based eating while adding omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein from fish. It's an excellent middle ground for those wanting to reduce meat consumption while still enjoying seafood and reaping its cardiovascular and brain health benefits.
