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.
' t# u9 ]3 b: ^3 G. K' M* G( `7 o( L& N, W8 C
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. 8 `7 C8 @  Z* m7 N# U2 z

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 5 Q- `$ F- }! g6 Y) ~8 `, @

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.* \* o, e  o* b5 S' v; g8 i

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. & r3 g9 Z+ I# s4 c; O- l
