Canned tuna is not only convenient, but tuna is full of health benefits too. Tuna contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids which have been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce triglycerides, slow the build-up of plaque in the arteries and reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke. The potassium in tuna has been linked to helping lower blood pressure, which combined with the omega-3 fatty acids, creates an anti-inflammatory effect on the cardiovascular system. Tuna contains manganese, zinc, vitamin C and selenium, which help support the immune system and act as antioxidants to protect us from diseases like cancer. Tuna has B vitamins which help keep our bones strong and our skin looking healthy. 

Unlocking the Health Secrets of Avocados: A Nutrient-Rich Powerhouse for Well-Being

Avocados have been growing in popularity, and rightfully so. They are rich in vitamin K, folate, and vitamin C. Avocados are cholesterol and sodium free and are low in saturated fat. They are also loaded with fiber, which is indigestible plant material with numerous health benefits. Moreover, fiber helps regulate blood sugar levels, keeps you full and helps keep your digestive system healthy. Moreover, avocados contain monounsaturated fatty acids which have been shown to reduce inflammation and have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer.

This tuna bowl recipe combines other healthy ingredients such as lemon juice, nutrient-rich purple cabbage, hydrating cucumbers and antioxidant-packed radishes. Moreover, you can feel good about what’s in your bowl with this meal, and fill yourself up to keep going with your day.
