THE FIT FISH
Not that you needed further convincing, but here are a few of the ingredients in tuna and some info on how they work to your benefit
>> Omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to healthy brain development, improve circulation and reduce inflammation. Omega-3s are high-performance fats that provide needed calories for active athletes and improve energy levels, perfect for the hard-training readers of M&F.
>> Selenium, a powerful antioxidant that can help improve the immune system.
>>B Vitamins, including niacin, maintain and build red blood cells and increase energy levels.
>> Vitamin D, helps to build strong bones.
>> Lean protein, essential to building lean muscle mass and providing the body with energy. Research shows that eating protein-rich foods like canned tuna can help with satiety and slow down digestion, keeping you fuller longer and leaving you less likely to eat more calories at your next meal.
