Tuna and hummus together provide a powerhouse of nutrients that offer several health benefits. Tuna is an excellent source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve brain function. It is also rich in essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, selenium, and B vitamins. Hummus, made primarily from chickpeas and tahini, is packed with plant-based protein, fibre, and healthy fats. The fibre in hummus aids digestion, while its healthy fats help maintain good cholesterol levels. Together, tuna and hummus promote muscle health, support cardiovascular wellness, and provide sustained energy, making them a nutritious and balanced combination.
