& M" g" T3 X9 x+ [3 FBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ( w* Z& }  V: K) |: G0 }

4 i2 l" c9 L" s) E5 S2) 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.% e% z4 ]  H+ k7 E5 x, J

3 N  m" p: {3 m- T3 u* zMany 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.
4 u' g" F) n' b9 E9 z9 q* w7 u5 Z( c
- r1 u7 }2 g3 J/ J3 wA balance diet, and exercise regularly
- f! u( P6 j5 Y. B: O' p9 f4 Y
) {* M9 i. {  E1 G6 |! `/ J" WEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.& Q; l' q3 a$ F' U. }% y1 ~
5 w5 o0 g$ U- E/ {0 w& [! z
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. . A: z) N+ T4 A0 o4 J7 G* \

5 S: e$ m) O& s/ Y, D6 TTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
