Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 9 q0 w! F+ x# z1 ^' H

6 T# U! x% L7 @# I9 H2 L2) 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.
% ?" K3 a: P& ~, Y
8 U( u  ^5 D* SMany 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.
* K4 B, M  p" t% U  @. i& x$ a8 Q, ^) S! T1 j( D7 r, {9 i$ M
A balance diet, and exercise regularly & r5 H& @* Y  X4 m! a7 B

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.$ x; i5 x# ~6 D/ x( W

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. , u. l9 H, h6 D3 O

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.5 t: j% N2 h/ @1 v5 ?- Y6 m
