, ?  ^' G# a+ G2) 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./ y" J+ O3 r" i: |5 B0 `( e8 C

. @( P# M, u  \+ @6 c1 r: MMany 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.

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.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
