So I've been craving a lot of tuna lately. Like, A LOT of tuna. I mean, seriously, I've been eating it several times a day. Yesterday I had some for lunch, some for a snack when I got home (on top of the six glasses of water), and then a can of tuna for dinner. Now, I've heard that when people have a deficiency of some kind, they tend to crave certain foods, so I set out to find out about what sort of health benefits are in store for those tuna-obsessed freaks who hide their closet tuna love. Here's what I found:
- Tuna contains:
- protein
- selenium
- magnesium
- potassium
- niacin
- vitamin B1
- vitamin B6
- omega-3 fatty acids
- In addition to this, tuna:
- promotes cardiovascular health
- increases heart rate variability
- lowers triglycerides
- prevents stroke
- protects against heart arrhythmia
- protects against heart attacks
- protects against pulmonary embolism
- prevents obsesity
- protects against asthma
- protects against sunburn
- reduces hostility
- protects against cancer
- protects against leukemia
- protects against kidney cancer
- protects against dry eyes
- protects agains alzheimer's

And now, I'm all tuna-obsessed. Sadly, I'm out of tuna and I lack the means necessary to obtain such a godly meat. *tear*
