  j' \% i) k: B) F! n5 K8 F$ d2) 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.
8 j' J* w1 X& q/ i+ \' e
8 e- V' _: Y# o% K5 S! 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.
# }- N) s3 \4 s+ y' J9 F) B- h

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 6 q9 h: g+ T1 R! o

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.) f7 e2 @4 j' P1 \  j, b( H
