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.
! o% @5 O' U, x: l' K/ p$ Y+ T) Q2 [4 R+ Z2 e2 u3 G6 o
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.
1 Q7 v3 L  L: L# ^3 e/ \

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
