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.
! K: `4 R  _# b! F" r3 e
, C1 B% s# s- z+ TMany 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 l- R7 o; y$ J" m6 W0 t' a' {- V

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 7 X& j! h$ f" f, E8 b" X8 C2 a; b8 F

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

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