Tuna is often referred to as a protein powerhouse due to its high protein content and plethora of nutritional benefits. A single serving of tuna can provide you with a significant portion of your daily protein needs, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain muscle mass and overall health. Furthermore, tuna is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart health and cognitive function. These healthy fats play a crucial role in reducing inflammation and promoting brain health, contributing to overall well-being.
