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.# c5 @- Q+ C1 O3 k" F1 W
  [( d1 d9 V! P4 r
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. ?! u  x: I# [* z! Q- v5 Q9 d6 h

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.1 ~& ^. j1 H- h. K3 R' O5 Y3 _
