  }( ]2 j1 R! X& o# J) Z! _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.
8 w$ W: U- v7 y3 j0 v1 n2 M7 ]. n4 U' r2 |
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. 9 q& C; @# A. r- n+ Q8 [8 W

" A( {. _" [$ h. Y; V: j. w  {: Z- j! E# j
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
