Health benefits of Seared Ahi Tuna

Tuna is great for a high protein diet as it has 33 grams of protein within its housing, with no pesky carbohydrates to worry about. In addition to this, tuna contains B vitamins and vitamin D, both of which are vital to fighting back against PCOS. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
12 oz Ahi tuna steaks

Instructions

1. Mix balsamic vinegar, garlic, soy sauce ginger, green onion and lemon juice in a large bowl.
