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+ t3 a# C7 i, a6 ^8 S* A4 G) A$ i0 _
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.
' C$ I  _* P7 E; @% |4 v
( p2 Z; H+ i5 I8 e$ {$ r  mA balance diet, and exercise regularly 8 u$ H8 u+ y# ]9 R9 C: F

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

% b# F7 a, @- @3 T' O3 y* W9 jFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
. c) S' S8 Z" b+ M- H5 }# S: h2 f0 a8 e+ E7 Q& _# ~* x4 V
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
