The weather is finally starting to turn nice and the weekend is just around the corner, so break out your grills, invite some friends over and make the below vitamin & nutrient packed Tuna w/ Pineappe-Mango Salsa. With a kick from Jalepeno, the flavors are complex but the ingredient list is simple!Pineapple: Pineapple offers a fun tropical flare to this recipe. This delicious fruit is a great source of Vitamin C to help keep your immune system health. But, even cooler Pineapple is a great source of Bromelain- an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties- great for people dealing with Arthritis. Bromelain also aids in the digestion of protein. Good thing we're pairing this with Tuna Steaks! Another fun fact about pineapple is that it is an excellent source of manganese, a mineral important to the health of bones, skin, nails, & cartilage.
Mango: Mangoes are back in season and I'm thrilled! Mangoes are a great source of iron. If you're like me and bruise like a peach, you're not getting enough iron. Instead of turning to leafy greens to get iron, try a yummy mango! Mangoes also offer maganese & potassium which studies show help to lower blood pressure. And if you need another incentive to try out this recipe.. Mangoes are also a good source Vitamin E which has been shown to help regulate sex hormones and thereby boost sex life so why not give it a try!
