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


  • All this information can be found here [link]

    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*
