According to the Food Compass, opt for tuna and seafood for a healthy meal
As healthy living becomes a global trend, food preferences and eating habits are changing accordingly. There are many researches and studies conducted worldwide on which foods to consume and which ones to avoid. The latest of these is the Food Compass system developed in the USA... A team from Tufts University's Department of Food Science and Policy examined and scored 8,000 foods and beverages based on their nutritional values over three years. With the Food Compass, considered one of the most comprehensive studies in the food field, results were revealed to guide those who adopt healthy eating habits.
Among the healthiest lunch and dinner options in the study were seafood choices. For a light, tasty, and healthy meal; a tuna salad prepared with a small amount of mayonnaise (75 points) and mussels with tomato sauce (95 points) were recommended. Also, spaghetti with seafood in tomato sauce was classified as healthy food with 78 points. The top score of 100 points was given to a seafood salad prepared with lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, and other desired vegetables. Salmon also ranked among the healthiest foods with 100 points. Salmon can be purchased marinated and prepared conveniently or consumed smoked.

It is a practical, tasty, and very healthy food that can be consumed in every season and complements many different foods from greens to pasta."

Tuna, which plays an important role in the adequate and balanced nutrition of people of all ages, ensures the development of children's muscles and bone structures, strengthens their immunity, and makes them more alert. Especially the Mediterranean miracle olive oil tuna should be included in every child's nutrition program during the school season. While easy-open lid products are a convenient option, it is recommended that children consume tuna at least twice a week to support their intelligence development and protect them from winter illnesses.
