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.

) j! L, Z8 b  g* y! XMany 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.

A balance diet, and exercise regularly ( _7 ~) I0 e# r1 [! F8 g

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.7 v% k" }1 d* z- T5 K

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. : {6 f0 m/ O3 B! D

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
