A good tuna salad recipe is something that many people see as a healthy meal. Indeed, if we think that tuna, and fish in general, contains those unsaturated fatty acids, omega-3, which are very good for our health, yes, we can say it’s a healthy meal and it should be repeated many times a week. However, health is not the same for all. For instance, giving children tuna fish, and especially the albacore species, can be detrimental to their health. That’s because such fish is rich in mercury, which is a toxic substance for children and which can interfere with their normal growth and development.

As you can see, there’s more to healthy eating than simply making lists of nutrients and trying to fill ourselves with the recommended daily dose of each.
