Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 H, `# ~* E7 O" K7 C7 ^% z: R7 ^, r

# j& r1 y6 A' J) M+ u9 e2) 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.

7 K7 X8 ^' k" q% c/ f- }: x/ R- {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.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. - K2 V4 P0 f- \# ], G' x+ i

( T; w2 L# W; T' XTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
