; e6 z2 G" ?" Q2) 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.
% K3 }, e2 S+ N5 ^4 l8 l" W2 C8 y' o" Y, x* S: z& O/ \
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. / u# o2 S& L: K2 v: B

& u% W$ E: N3 Z( b6 j* D: QA balance diet, and exercise regularly . [8 z1 A! s- j0 ~- E. A

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
% y) L+ d; r0 l% r% z* W9 L2 C2 p) w
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. : Y: c) d( X( p/ s9 ]1 ~7 X! D

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