Pescetarianism is the practice of a
diet that includes seafood, and excludes other animals. A Pescetarian diet may or
may not include dairy products or
eggs.
Pescetarian is from the latin word pesce(fish).
It is a natural diet that has been practised by many indigenous groups for millennia particularly nations that live by the sea.
Pescetarianism has been acknowledged by nutritionists and medical professionals as one of the healthiest diets due to the abundance of the
long-chain omega 3 acid in fish oil, worth noting is the
long-chain type can only be found in fatty fish and not in some
nuts or seeds as some Vegetarians like to believe. Pescetarian diet is very similar to the
famous Okinawa and Mediterranean diet. Studies have also proved the significant role
long-chain omega3 acid has in simulating brain cells resulting in
better analytical thinking and response. Medical research has acknowledged the role of
long-chain omega3 in prevention and fighting of cancerous cells.
As a natural diet, Pescetarianism existed before white man invented unnatural diets as what he perceives as natural or humane like Fruitarianism or other unnatural diets which are likely to cause illnesses and/or malnutrition due to the lack of sufficient or adequate nutrients.
