Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

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.
/ p' V; m& T, f2 v; F) G7 ?+ p
1 o5 C: {6 o- F( y" g1 h4 HMany 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 P) t9 ^0 Y. [- n7 s; L+ F; `: q8 {: B% t( T  X% A
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ; X7 h% h- Z) n3 `7 p6 H

5 p: c4 E. z+ P2 V0 k& kEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you./ d, N: \5 b. D* n7 Q
2 Y! \& u7 S9 K4 b0 w: A8 e
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
3 ]% v2 J) ]9 x* H8 n8 ]  z4 G0 l; i
4 d; @" Y+ d: u/ I( c! y, O  P+ j# KTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
