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. " ^ R) |. @. c K( v" ` " I1 g; N F h7 v5 lMany 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. ) I. s. @7 c1 J, r7 p. G

A balance diet, and exercise regularly T5 [. p/ h% f8 n H' y1 N. \6 h * A: [7 y Z! R% \$ fEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you. ) G. u! T- F5 `& F5 q0 \2 o5 X: E+ z3 h4 Q; S) z7 u
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. " Z- V! b/ M' K' [: f! T2 `

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health. 8 F4 E/ X$ i4 }! f7 N ' |# N1 b" e4 I( @9 T# Z; E* E( m[ Last edited by singgeihot on 2005-6-7 at 09:14 AM ]
