( c# _* X7 `2 j; L4 w% ~) IBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 1 U  w+ q7 P* ], p; S

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.
2 v6 Q6 E: G1 d6 o  R4 s8 R$ x( y+ J' o4 G: K( q. N
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.   M8 }7 ?( ]6 M
) c. e0 i: s* ~9 A/ S4 r3 ?+ V3 ^
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.  d  O0 J  H4 q- h" E2 O3 B

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

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.. x* T8 _) j8 k+ G
