Can you say “tasty toasted tuna to go” five times fast? No? Well, instead you can say, “I’m going to make a balsamic tuna salad sandwich for lunch”.

Here’s why: tuna is incredibly dense with nutrients. It’s packed with protein, which makes it a great choice for a post-workout meal. It’s got a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and improve eye health. Tuna protects against many cancers, especially those in the ovaries, pancreas, and the entire digestive track. Since tuna is filled with potassium, iron, and iodine, it helps improve blood flow and decreases stress. This helps to lessen cognitive decline and reduce your risk of alzheimers. You won’t want to forget how great tuna tastes! Tuna also helps detoxify the liver, which in turn gets rid of your body’s toxins. I’ve said a lot of great things about tuna, but in fact, I may have missed a few of its health benefits, which means that it would be an excellent ingredient to add to your diet.

Try it for lunch!
