4 T0 Q) B1 F8 E" \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.
  J5 Z+ ~' `+ \, F! q  I9 E( W1 `, n( f1 r% f) t
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.

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
