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 z! j. O5 S( q$ Z3 H$ l0 u( N! k. ^# u! M) r4 x, `! e
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. # Y; F* K- X3 Z0 j, I3 X6 ~& H

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.3 d" z; i8 ?1 R# C% e3 \2 O3 o
