Tuna helps reduce hostility
Now that summer is here teenagers may be feeling the slump with the absence of a formal activity in school. Boredom tends to set in and teeners tend to be grumpy. Amazingly, letting teeners eat tuna might be a solution.
A study published in the January 2004 issue of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found a statistically significant relationship between consuming fish rich in omega-3 fats, ergo tuna, and a lower hostility score in 3581 young urban white and black adults. Those with the highest intake of omega 3 fats had only a 10% likelihood of being among those with the highest hostility scores. Eating any fish rich in omega 3 fats compared to eating no omega-3-rich fish was also found to drop subjects’ chances of being hostile by 12%.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids are abundantly found in tuna. Essential fatty acids are so named because they are essential for our health but cannot be made by the body; they must therefore be obtained from foods. Cold-water fish like tuna are a rich source of the omega-3 essential fats, a form of essential fatty acids in which the standard diet is sorely deficient.
Treat your teeners to a healthy tuna meal at Port Seafood Restaurant, complete with a heart-soothing ambiance within the top-class Waterfront Cebu City Hotel. Visit them at Salinas Drive, Lahug or call Tel. No. 231-7441 or text 0917-300-PORT for reservations. |
