\"\"<\/a>Sunday morning’s swim was relaxing as opposed to being a strenuous workout; mostly because I woke up sore from Saturday’s weight lifting. I didn’t push myself and just let my body tell me how fast I could go. After 45 minutes in the pool, I relaxed in the hot tub, steam room and sauna for a bit.<\/p>\n

I went to a friend’s house for lunch. She needed help unpacking after her move so she bribed me with yummy curry tuna salad. \ud83d\ude42 Instead of a sandwich, we put the tuna salad on top of lettuce and a scoop of cottage cheese and called that lunch. It was delicious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For dessert she got an “Extra Sweet Tuscan cantaloupe”. It’s really good and much sweeter than regular cantaloupe!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This isn’t the exact recipe that my friend used because she never cooks from a recipe and it changes every time!<\/p>\n

Curried Tuna Salad<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Canned albacore tuna (drained)<\/strong><\/p>\n

chopped green onion<\/strong><\/p>\n

chopped red pepper<\/strong><\/p>\n

chopped apple<\/strong><\/p>\n

chopped onion<\/strong><\/p>\n

chopped celery<\/strong><\/p>\n

mayo (or plain yogurt)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

curry powder<\/strong><\/p>\n

raisins<\/strong><\/p>\n

dill<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve recreated something similar on my own and I add shredded carrots and pickle to it too. I love the idea of just putting it on top of a salad instead of eating it as a sandwich. Saves a lot of calories! And it was so filling I really didn’t need the cantaloupe with it.<\/p>\n

Is Tuna good for you?<\/p>\n

    \n

    Heart<\/h2>\n
  1. Tuna, like other fish, is full of omega-3 fatty acids. These help to eliminate erratic heart beats, and that lowers the risk of blood clots and heart attacks.<\/li>\n

    Triglycerides<\/h2>\n
  2. Triglycerides are a type of fat that–when present in great amounts–contributes to high cholesterol. Eating tuna lowers the triglyceride content in a person to normal, healthy amounts.<\/li>\n

    Stroke<\/h2>\n
  3. Since eating tuna helps prevent blood clots and also improves blood flow, it can help prevent strokes. Eating only 1 to 3 servings a month is enough to lower the risk of stroke in a person.<\/li>\n

    Skin<\/h2>\n
  4. The omega-3 count in tuna is greatly beneficial to skin care. It helps to reduce inflammation, which helps reduce the risk of sunburn and skin cancer.<\/li>\n

    Liver<\/h2>\n
  5. Tuna is a good source of selenium as well as omega-3. This is important in liver health, which helps to promote detoxification of the body.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
