2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish.
8 J3 r% x. i* c; o( U3 z9 A$ v. v9 J+ s5 R9 V' e- o; R- l
Many research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. ! k  ^- B( x" O  Q! `9 R* Q
$ L% b2 s& \% G, W8 P
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
