Let’s talk about tuna. Tuna has some great nutritional benefits, so I wanted to share a few easy tuna recipes with you and explain some of the health benefits. Tuna contains omega-3 fatty acids which reduce inflammation in your body and can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and arthritis. Niacin is a B-vitamin found in tuna that can help with the health of the digestive system, skin and nerves. Tuna is also a source of vitamin B12, which supports the functioning of the brain and can help turn food into usable energy.</span></span></div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-4174389f-c3fe-0273-78ab-3467af8dac54" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #999999;">Canned tuna contains mercury which can cause nervous system damage, so it is a good idea to limit how much you eat if it is canned. One of the easy tuna recipes listed below uses canned tuna, but you can also bake and pull apart a fillet if you’d rather not use the canned. Albacore, or white tuna, contains more omega-3 vitamins but has a higher mercury level. Skipjack, or light tuna, contains less mercury so you can eat more of it. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, it is safe to eat one serving of skipjack every 3-4 days and one serving of white tuna every 9-14 days. Choose a canned tuna that has “BPA free” on the label to limit your exposure to the harmful chemical found in the linings of cans. Otherwise, stick with the fresh tuna filets to avoid the potential hazards of the mercury.</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15;
