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.
! r7 q5 [5 F9 u
/ ]6 G/ |: ?9 e2 X+ p$ K; T0 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.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind.

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.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health., G0 S& ^/ j' w  Z# c6 l8 T8 d
