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.* a' Z. C6 R8 N- `

8 N. a$ N- X* }" ^, I$ @$ r& ^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.
& R, l$ [# P9 ~4 g0 B, W; \4 _* d; f5 Y# h& l6 r' j
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.* i& s3 Q# Y8 v  Q7 G

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.; n' J2 k: g( }+ m5 y0 D7 T
