6 r% L9 g2 q; b; C$ ]5 p' t2) 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.
) `6 Q  B: |5 G+ B* g& y$ c7 s" t1 o& N) l% ^. y
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.
. S/ Q. b: `9 |; F2 d) a2 ~

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.+ I2 }) J4 p3 L( K8 Y( c

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

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