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

) f6 k% R  l, n- C- L( t2) 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.! d2 E2 J9 G/ k; s. C" j
- V* U) x: v* a4 t1 o' O* u# |4 D
Many 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.
' m- F  A- y( J& I- W# P+ D2 h3 n8 j; F# Z5 u0 e
A balance diet, and exercise regularly * H% ]+ t# m' X# M% Z; {

5 d* j/ D; d: g4 WEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
& l4 w( C$ @) \) @6 ]' u8 S; M  q% j# X+ P9 E
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ( k4 x2 {9 F3 }$ Y

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.) m& m4 O9 L' ]& _
