Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, " C6 M5 |1 G1 e8 A' n

7 _7 r. z) c; Z& i$ y& ?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.) Q# C0 P- F4 j$ L4 ^! \' F2 V

! m) {% z7 o: V& Q/ [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.

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

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