Is tuna in
sunflower oil good for your body?
Compared with tuna in brine or springwater,
tuna soaked in sunflower oil is not recommended although it is permitted to
consume it. If you have another choose, it is better to pick tuna in water/
springwater or the briney one instead of sunflower oil. Another solution is if
you prefer the tuna preserved in oils then choose vegetable oil than sunflower
one because it is healthier.
Tuna in water keep the natural omega 3
fatty acids after you drained off the canned fish because the water itself did
not mix with original tuna oils that contain omega 3 so it will not leech way
the tuna oils. Although tuna in brine is good to preserve tuna fish meat in can
packaging as well, but the addition of salt water will increase the sodium
content and it will be a serious matter for your body if you consume too much
sodium. Not to mention we already get sodium intake from other meals that we
eat without consume canned tuna.
The least favorite out of the three should
be sunflower oil because the reason above. When you drained off the canned
sunflower oil tuna, it will also waste away the fats and oils containing omega
3 fatty acids make your tuna less in amount of omega 3 than before. Several
other reasons of why sunflower oil is bad for your body because it contains
unbalanced omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 6 fatty acids are Polyunsaturated fats
which is good for your body unless the ratio is equal with the amount of omega
3. Have a high omega 6 with less omega 3 is bad because it can increase the
risk of certain dangerous disease including asthma, cancer, arthritis, and
heart disease. Since the omega 3 oils are reduced when you drained off the canned fish tuna in oil, meaning the
tuna meat have less amount of omega 3 and that’s not good. That’s why when you
eat meals contain a lot of sunflower oil which offer omega 6; make sure that
you balance it with enough omega 3 fatty acids.
Another thing to take a note is you need to
limit the amount of tuna consumption per week while for pregnant women or those
who want to get pregnant, need to avoid canned tuna fish for awhile because
canned tuna in sunflower oil
contains methyl mercury which can give a bad side for the baby and of course
body health.
