It is common knowledge that tuna is good for heart, eye and brain health. But, this food is also beneficial for the skin, you know. The following are the benefits of consuming tuna for healthier skin:

1. Source of protein.

Protein is the main building material of skin. Eating tuna, which is rich in protein, helps strengthen skin tissue and promotes the regeneration of healthy skin cells.

2. Omega-3 fatty acids.

Tuna contains omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which have anti-inflammatory properties and help maintain skin moisture. Omega-3 also helps repair skin damage caused by exposure to sunlight and the environment.

3. Vitamin D

Tuna fish is a natural source of vitamin D, which is necessary for healthy skin. Vitamin D helps strengthen the skin's defenses against infection and inflammation and increases the production of collagen, a protein that keeps skin elastic and firm.

4. Antioxidants.

Tuna contains antioxidants such as selenium, which protects the skin from free radical damage and relieves inflammation.

5. Iron.

Tuna is also rich in iron, which helps increase blood flow to the skin. Increased blood flow brings nutrients and oxygen to skin cells, which is important for keeping skin healthy and radiant.

6. Collagen.

Tuna also contains collagen, a structural protein that is important for maintaining skin elasticity. Collagen helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines and improves skin elasticity.
