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.5 _' \% _3 D+ i5 p, K* T0 R! Z6 L
" F- S  R8 ^8 |  P
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.

3 u+ j0 _% q/ U* }; \, c+ nA balance diet, and exercise regularly ' f4 p- E7 X" \4 f8 @. H) ]' s

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.# F6 a  Y, M/ H! [( U4 g6 w

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. $ \4 w5 O; k/ n; B% |0 u

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.7 S6 N1 n8 O4 R3 h% p
