+ b& C  C$ K0 R# f, v/ A+ {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.
9 V; c) d4 W- }7 Y& P6 r; {, U7 X6 F5 L& X7 W
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. + E" J' U7 `8 O5 E( c! K8 O

( b/ N8 ]3 u1 I8 L) jA balance diet, and exercise regularly
