The Benefits of Vacuum-Packed Tuna Packs

Health-wise consumers, listen up! I’m sure you’ve seen these handy-dandy packets of tuna on your local grocery store shelves. Maybe they’re a little more expensive than the traditional cans, but when it comes to a healthy convenient food, you can’t get much healthier or convenient than these neat packs.

The health benefits of tuna:

•    Tuna can help prevent cancer. The fat from tuna has been known to reduce the risk of kidney cancer and breast cancer.
•    Studies show that people who consume high amounts of fish cut their risk of getting Alzheimer’s or dementia later in life.
•    Tuna is low fat. Both light and chunk white varieties are low in calories and low in fat.
•    Tuna is high in protein. Very high.
•    Bye bye Cardizem and Benicar! Tuna can help reduce high blood pressure. The omega-3 fatty acids in tuna are great for lowering blood pressure. In fact, they’re great for heart health in general.
•    Worried about your eyesight? A pack of tuna a day can help reduce the risk of age related macular degeneration.

The convenience of tuna packs:

•    The packs are filled with fully drained tuna. So whether you’re at home or on the go, you don’t need to worry about spilling out the smelly tuna juice.
•    No can opener necessary.
•    When you’re done, the packs take up less room in your garbage can.
•    You can mix low fat mayo and veggies straight into the pouch for a no-mess tuna salad.
•    The packs are flat and are more lightweight than the cans. So you can pack them up for long trips, keep one in your purse, or send one along with your kids’ school lunch.
•    The packs come in a variety of flavors and styles. You can get light or chunk white tuna, or tuna fillets in delicious flavors like lemon pepper or mesquite BBQ.
