9 m) w$ J4 r# x, G! J/ UBased 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.0 b1 D7 H( N7 ~8 C$ M+ k# ~* S' ]

2 }7 U: ~/ K! fMany 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.
3 j) Y( O! ?$ v0 _, }! e7 j& f" V2 h1 m( e! f9 x, n+ R
A balance diet, and exercise regularly + e% X3 ~  n8 F( `

. \4 `8 a" K; nEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
, j) H' d/ ]+ J, L( t* f5 I; D, O* I
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
# q$ l4 }4 \1 a" U) w- Y7 P# o$ ~6 }8 J
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
