9 g6 m+ k, t. c% x, j2) 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.
. C+ ^2 L4 y: t: o4 ]1 ?  ?  h
6 E5 U! e) k+ r) xMany 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. 3 z1 x/ d6 |1 V8 o, b8 P

' H; W+ R9 Q, L+ v' P: O% j" W( _1 N  ~A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ' |; e% _/ n  |/ M' _

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.! n  d: g4 V7 A! T: \7 J+ A/ P( c1 N
