Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,   C& f% }: G4 P+ v+ }! d

$ t% |4 G/ c6 x+ R2) 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.
' D  ^' q; J- M6 a) c3 x1 c
7 e' }6 i# m0 [) K# tMany 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. - ~7 q# T; x- G# B& p' k

( s6 m4 c- T+ ]" m5 FA 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./ X, s; m6 J# t/ J4 H7 l1 n

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

' S' a) s* ^  m; |  MTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
