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.
0 j+ v: X7 T% D2 h2 L, q( t( y( I8 z0 |% C' Y  d" P
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.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.9 ^& h4 d% n5 @3 x
