! a, N. ]9 T# x2) 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.7 l0 u+ Q- @8 o& L0 e& ]! f

, L! G% W  x8 Q4 QMany 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.

$ k2 o/ S" S4 I0 `. w, \3 bA balance diet, and exercise regularly
