# T1 N6 R$ `1 c6 V; @' v. E2 e6 j: p2) 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.- l/ e1 |: v6 A/ I* p4 m# X+ M
0 i' @7 e& X( p: z+ b3 q5 M
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.

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 0 y  Z& @8 `3 K

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
2 n1 M- P, v$ U1 ]* w- S; ?! V  h# f" z* f: b) S
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ! }5 u( m3 P+ V& }4 O* P2 B) N

% s; K1 h7 A9 j5 qTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
