$ e. g+ }5 j) c( _& o2) 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. 6 B. \6 V- v6 g6 F! X. d: \+ H2 ~% t4 b V/ J0 E" ~/ i
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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. 6 C* ]( }- e% S" l6 q$ Z4 Q d2 S; z

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ; c5 k) O a" W% f

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.1 A9 o1 |+ L2 a# t- u
