( s7 k8 c  M' Q# j+ C2) 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.

2 S$ G& M9 ^. Y6 i4 _8 |. 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 e% ], U( i, z0 j3 [* J9 n" ^. W, z2 T
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 9 ]; y! s2 z1 T3 W4 [

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.  ~! t. E. e/ P! p# S
