Tuna for Living

Hey guys

Here is a photo of the tuna steak that I made last weekend. Doesn’t it look awesome? And it’s an easy recipe too.

Just heat the grill to 450 degrees F and sear each side of the steak for 2 min or until the color of the tuna’s surface changes. Today, there are modern grills out there that actually have a “searing” option built right in. Isn’t that neat.

Let’s talk a little about tuna. While the consumption of canned tuna accounts for the majority of fish eaten by Americans, it doesn’t compare to the wonderfully firm, dense and meaty flavor and texture of fresh tuna. Both canned and fresh tuna are available throughout the year. December is the time to get fresh Hawaiian tuna.

Tuna fish are truly a nutrient-dense food. An excellent source of high quality protein, tuna is rich in a variety of important nutrients including the minerals selenium, magnesium, and potassium; the B vitamins niacin, B1 and B6; and perhaps most importantly, the beneficial omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Here are some health benefits associated with tuna:

• Tuna can improve overall cardiovascular health
• Omega-3s help prevent obesity and improve insulin response
• It can reduce the risk of macular degeneration
• It promotes detoxification

Do you think we should start thinking more about eating tuna?

Thank you so much again for stopping by, God bless.
