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.( C+ i, a1 [0 @$ d
/ L- z5 |! @* @. }' c
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. ; h/ i+ E* m2 Y4 Q: [2 n. M7 q6 W

A balance diet, and exercise regularly ' r3 m. V$ v) Z* ~  m

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. & R' S# v/ D0 K6 J
