, C9 i3 E! B0 Z$ ?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." V" s& Q: ]2 T3 D) j% X: \

  [7 [) T+ `- a& dMany 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.
) s$ m$ O; e; a/ D1 @" A3 P9 r. }$ L. G3 p) a# ?
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
  [) n/ J+ i/ q" K% Z, W: a% O5 h- E9 F5 ]+ c& F% D- o
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.( N* Q  @8 j: r$ g. }! |7 C
2 Y; n, |- ^6 u& U1 r# I
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
% F& N- K- ~$ `+ X0 c+ V! Z% ]1 R! k& U- c: i
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
