6 o; |7 V2 `+ Y) `1 }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.
% ?. N& _: F" W5 T( j3 ^8 a! o. M% l3 N1 n# e- a9 O" S  [
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. 6 }0 z5 b5 z8 Y: `' L8 X

A balance diet, and exercise regularly % ]8 c0 v1 g# i
