$ x* _2 U, U( x5 d2) 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, m! ~2 `. XMany 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.
, h  y& e. F  ^, R6 n. Y6 L  V/ H* c) O9 d! Y+ E
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

# \4 |& h; i( j. PFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. * W% F+ g/ e1 m! D* t: A! C( _

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