About the Omega-3s in Tuna

Tuna is a fantastic source of DHA Omega-3. Omega-3sm which are known as anti-inflammatories may help improve cognitive function, memory, and focus. Adequate OMega-3 consumption may also reduce the risk of depression, anxiety, ad bipolar disorder as well as symptoms of asthma. For adequate omega-3 intakes, eat cold-water fish like tuna or salmon about 2 times a week, and include plant-based ALA omega-3 foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, and walnuts in your diet as well.

About the Probiotics in Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a well-known source of gut-healthy probiotics. Probiotics and gut health have been linked to reduced risk of chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Gut health also appears to play a role in mood and mood disorders.

Look for Wild Caught, Mercury Tested

When purchasing Tuna in a pouch, look for wild-caught, mercury-tested tuna. Some tuna can contain mercury, so look for brands that insure low-mercury tuna through 3rd party testing like the Wild Planet, No Salt Added Tuna Pouches.
