Fish is one of the most important products in the human diet, but can this product become a full-fledged replacement for meat?

In this article we will try to answer the question.

First of all, it is worth remembering: science does not recommend completely eliminating meat from the diet.

Thus, the WHO recommendations emphasize that a healthy diet should be varied and include different types of fish, lean meat and poultry, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, leafy greens, berries and fruits.

Like meat products, fish and seafood contain complete protein.

They also contain iron and zinc, although in smaller quantities, but they are well absorbed by the body.

But despite this, from a medical point of view, it is impossible to completely give up meat. If you have reasons for doing so, consider reducing your meat consumption to twice a week.

The rest of the time, you should choose fish and plant-based sources of protein, such as cereals and legumes.
