) B- v8 @' h+ }0 L9 d: A9 E2) 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.9 S( B! Y" a0 f7 m* ~2 ^. k4 }
/ Y/ j. D8 P2 j1 z
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 d, N# M7 N% I; H0 O. m( q' d6 ^  ^  ]3 m9 g& {( x0 ?

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 2 g9 o* ]+ N( ~0 r+ S

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.4 e# R9 l5 Q: F" c* Z2 g( ]) J
