A Tuna Sandwich can Be Good For You

We read so much about the mercury levels in tuna but did you know that albacore tuna (this is the tuna that gets canned) can be super good for you?  If the tuna is “troll- or pole-caught” in the U.S. or British Columbia then this tuna can be nutritious.  Troll or pole caught tuna are typically younger and smaller fish, hence they do not contain high mercury levels as larger and older fish contain.  They also contain higher Omega - 3 counts, which is another healthy 'plus'.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  When at the market and looking for canned tuna, check for the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) blue eco label or do your homework - find out where and how your favorite brand of canned tuna is raised and caught.
