( W* K% p+ `1 {; r2) 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.
" L3 Q, b" E" i6 o" r
, f! l4 p! k5 E" GMany 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. 7 w3 y  X+ ~4 g
  P8 B1 A6 f  {6 _, }3 n. [9 C* p+ u
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ' _7 v/ V) M: F1 E4 n3 x

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you., \4 [& I5 y0 M/ Y3 u

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
% I" j2 y) O0 R' N/ A8 O/ g8 H* w; g
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
