; F4 n. O  v; s2 c) \" J2) 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.& B- n" z  F3 P$ M, d9 ^
$ W# L+ J6 X+ k# |4 B
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. $ E  B0 J9 l) l+ v7 C, k6 r& A

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
