Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, + D5 G9 Z2 C( n, A8 i4 W

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.7 V! Y- v2 D/ e# H4 `/ | D# _
. ^( x2 ^" k4 C+ w9 g/ C- K! RMany 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. / g1 ~7 A$ k3 Q9 J& X

A balance diet, and exercise regularly / X! _7 t1 x X9 ~* f

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.8 j/ ~3 ?, o$ v# V

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. / @% _2 _# n& ^% s" x5 z7 s4 f0 \+ U6 ]' l( z; E5 X
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health. & _. l9 s. j1 {! u, W3 p" W* c8 ?$ L$ g
