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., M% @1 B' {" S5 _2 U5 f! n
5 \) [$ L5 s) c6 w4 Z
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.
, W& S4 \2 \" ?9 O1 r$ t- X6 r& Z0 ?. D! z; F+ p* _
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.! \, ^9 F) Z9 W4 F& y: {' q

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.) c/ j! S. b( D& a* S, {# ~/ _' i% l
