But further on we will not talk about vegetarianism.

Pesco-vegetarian diet

Scientists have proven that a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of premature death by 12%.

Pescetarianism excludes the consumption of animal meat, while animal products (milk, eggs, etc.) are not prohibited.

But as for the pesco-vegetarian diet, it reduces the risk of premature death by 18%.

This diet is almost no different from the classic vegetarian diet. The only difference is that it includes fish.

As for veganism, scientists have come to the conclusion that it does not have significant advantages in terms of prolonging life.
