Tuna either canned or grilled is full of many great nutrients that your body needs in order to survive. It offers omega 3s and is a great source of protein. In addition, tuna has a lot of vitamin B12. In fact, just one three ounce serving offers an entire day’s worth of vitamin B12.

Canned tuna can be eaten cold or mixed with some veggies or even added to a salad for a nutritious lunch or dinner. You can also purchase fresh tuna and bake it, broil it, or fry it. There are many different ways that you can eat tuna, which makes it easy to add to any diet.
