/ `& w1 ~2 T) A0 E2) 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.
; h# g' ~6 }* I
  K' H& u; v# H7 WMany 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.

A balance diet, and exercise regularly , V$ @5 c5 |% W

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. / B; I4 G/ h0 W3 K; J; J

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.: a. A9 E2 x' E/ I  D% ~  Q3 Z
