This document discusses the nutritional benefits of eating sardines. Sardines are high in protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. They provide 17g of fat and 37g of protein per 149g serving. While fat is important for energy, sardines contain the good kind of fat that can decrease risks of heart attacks and strokes. Protein is also important for building and repairing tissues.

4. Believe it or not, fat is actually good for you. Your
body needs it as a source of energy.
And sardines have the BEST type of fat – the good kind.
They are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which decrease the
risks of heart attacks and strokes!

5. Protein is also
important.
It works towards
building and repairing
tissues such as muscles,
internal organs, skin,
bones and hair.
(Now, you can avoid
those bad-hair days!)

6. If you simply don’t like
sardines (or anything fishy ),
try a serving of red kidney
beans.
Although they only have half the
protein content than sardines, one
serving will yield the same
‘fullness’ factor.
