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.6 W5 S5 F$ v0 q3 a; Q" y7 m' o. u

! \  V  |/ E+ ~3 ^9 l& GMany 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.
( m! p  }8 K. E- K# I% O' s" Q  G7 p1 C4 t7 b9 I/ Q& n
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 7 ^$ y$ Y2 l( e$ ?/ e* Z
