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. / q" _4 C7 u1 U5 A - b: W2 ?6 ~- dMany 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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. C4 I: H0 x7 k8 K4 g1 L

A balance diet, and exercise regularly ; B$ S5 {5 u/ F' W2 D. I" o

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.6 l$ l. \, q3 p5 C( R

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % F# [: u+ C! t- T# J( A3 f

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health. 2 S8 O" O) Y' `5 n m) h3 o ) H$ F" ]" V* {4 b1 x: `* a9 C[ Last edited by singgeihot on 2005-6-7 at 09:14 AM ]
