6 h: E2 }& i$ {3 j+ k2) 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.& q; n; x' U: y3 k) W1 I( k; p
& c6 ~0 [3 Q* m& W
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.
2 }6 Y% g" e! g. U4 [; w$ d$ @7 u; L1 i% d4 L, a
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
7 |3 k" d4 j$ w! i' D/ Q: Z/ q) S9 @# r7 l4 a" J# [+ R
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.
