this study aims to assess the effect of a nutritional interventional with tuna based nugget with diet plan on BMI, dietary habits and anti-inflammatory level in blood. as tuna is taken as best source of selenium that is effective for cardiomyopathy patients. Eligible participants received dietary counselling with one slice of fish nugget daily foe 12 weeks. anthropometric measurements, biochemical and anti-inflammatory test was done before and after completion of study. Out of 120 participants, 60 were enrolled as treatment and other 60 as control group with no intervention.
