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.$ y% U- x0 ~0 q1 \
$ v$ i) K/ b1 DMany 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. 8 i+ I% w- N2 u6 Q1 A

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you. 2 a- t1 U# u6 ^4 Y8 {+ A m6 f4 O' e" s+ {For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % n8 A% T% K3 e( K0 d8 y1 X! Y; w5 d2 R$ P0 T2 p
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health. ; b- a6 G- ?$ N$ @& E ( O: k, s& @- P, I; E, D2 G3 H* _[ Last edited by singgeihot on 2005-6-7 at 09:14 AM ]
