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.
3 \# _5 W! p3 u0 _& [8 q
* I( k4 D% ?) `1 c# d5 SMany 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. % q# S* Y8 J! J& v

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 5 {/ ?( i- l5 I" K! a) c7 R

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
5 y3 R4 e. r+ @4 z! n% K! S* b& G, _2 t. [5 B3 |( Q/ l
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 8 p2 ^: m: k( b: A3 p# O$ L

7 s' g, ^& }& ]3 D( s, \4 p5 JTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
