0 ], P- a4 u" e% E# O# SBased 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.
3 u0 r8 o- O; k3 S5 c! a; B4 i/ K5 b- D# w3 F3 E6 o2 g
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. ' q7 W4 R( X" e" p" v  f
) w3 j; j" m) K* O/ x
A 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.
. v/ W( ~3 J" K7 w/ W6 q5 z2 d9 e1 R
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 2 S8 M  H3 ]" \' ]$ {

( n- S" s0 G6 H  ?" d$ b/ @6 rTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.# r5 i$ T* c3 d' a, ?, K" I/ I, a
