* I' a, y  Y7 e  Q2 k' q( H2) 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.
+ l0 P+ U0 l  g3 m# A0 G" T+ z
$ _+ I+ F4 _# w! p1 n% K$ EMany 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. & G% G# L5 n- G5 O

$ v& ^/ G& s: N7 D# W$ o  i# r5 l" yA balance diet, and exercise regularly 4 t' k; J) y6 t8 g# m2 e: a0 L

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. , ]0 U6 K& z" ~; f) i7 o

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.1 B- P3 ~' N" Y+ S& e( g+ M+ i1 V+ l
