Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 9 e' M! E4 P$ x( S1 ~- n

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.: n. R. q; M! q; ~( n

/ I5 X4 E$ }% y4 `' M/ \3 X  J9 eMany 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.

6 m, J% \1 a7 P8 o7 qA balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you., J6 t1 R% F7 [% e7 M" T: V

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.) t; \  c* ~5 t  t
