( h- e8 s# L8 p4 I8 O+ G" p2) 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., s/ a$ }2 w3 i3 C

! f) A4 f, H5 m8 o- KMany 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.
0 e" Z3 k3 r2 Q. C% ]6 @9 o+ T5 B
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.
0 O! m5 i; G0 t4 V0 Y" r& w0 w7 g) d  |! e. l  x
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
