To enjoy the benefits of canned tuna without incurring the associated risks, follow these recommendations:
Vary your protein source: Alternate tuna with other protein sources such as chicken, eggs, legumes, and tofu to reduce mercury exposure.
Choose tuna in water and low in sodium: Opt for versions canned in water and check labels to select products with low sodium content.
Consume in moderation: Limit consumption of canned tuna to 2-3 times per week to minimize exposure to mercury and other potential contaminants.
Look for packaging alternatives: Choose canned products in BPA-free containers to reduce exposure to this chemical.
