Fish – Part of Your Healthy Diet
Fish – especially salmon, tuna and sardines – are all considered superfoods your body needs to maintain a healthy energy level. Water-packed sardines contain an amino acid called tyrosine that, when digested, helps to manufacture the brain chemicals norepinephrine and dopamine. These “uppers” bring your brain to full attention, improving your mental function. Other lean protein foods contain tyrosine as well, including lean beef, chicken, turkey, pork tenderloin, shellfish and eggs. 4 oz. sardines in water contains: 160 calories, zero carbs, 24g protein, 8g fat. Make sure you get your weekly servings of salt water fish like tuna, salmon and sardines. Serve themwith rice, brown rice or vegetables, skip the fried potatoes for a healthy diet.
