Tuna Special
Tuna Special
Among other things, this recipe is good for the menopausal woman because it provides half of her daily Vitamin D requirement (which is practically impossible to get enough of in the northern climates). The Tuna provides us with the healthy Omega 3's we need. The yoghurt adds a little calcium, and the whole grains will help us with our weight control.
Tuna is an important source of Omega-3 fats and antioxidant minerals for arterial and heart health, and it is also rich in vitamin E for healthy skin. Unfortunately, canned tuna has lost some of its Omega 3 fats, so it is better to eat it fresh if possible.
Fresh fish should be odorless and is best cooked and eaten on the day of purchase. Be sure not to over-cook it because it will lose its flavor and its nutrients.
It is also high in protein so you will feel satisfied much longer, and it is rich in selenium and magnesium for heart health. It is extremely rich in vitamin B12 for healthy blood.
Tuna is an excellent choice for those who don't really like the "fishy" smell and taste of fish. The flavor is mild and almost tastes like chicken.

2 tbsp plain yoghurt
1 diced green onion
sprinkle of fresh lemon juice

Whole grain toast
