Sardines are the reference fish in the Mediterranean diet and are recommended by nutritionists all over the world mainly due to their high content of Omega 3, a polyunsaturated fatty acid that protects the heart and helps reduce the risk of heart attack by controlling cholesterol levels in the blood. Tomatoes are a source of several vitamins, such as C, which gives them antioxidant properties, as well as lycopene, which is also an antioxidant and has a cardioprotective effect.
