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.7 ?. w$ ]: Y( t) W3 g1 K

+ r! L* h7 v( O# F+ E& f1 j( YMany 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.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ) h; e' v9 r$ p2 f' n

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.2 S# T( t3 o" t+ |6 M. U
