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 D/ {% t, ]9 p( o/ V" I' y

  P4 |/ ]4 y5 ?9 E1 {; IMany 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. # _9 n* ?# f1 q* i% I/ P3 p
& D+ w1 U" i: ]1 m' r% o8 m
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
' k& y0 X: L# _  z* P  ?1 \: p. y" v. x: R' m: F
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.( m/ W" I4 C5 u2 _

+ E* Y6 x2 V& m* w' NFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. - r6 Q- l6 A! v0 [

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.- O3 H+ l5 s- \1 [9 g5 [- m
