Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

5 u) Z$ X8 h3 ]. h6 l2) 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.
* t) F9 k0 ]5 n' Z8 `) l6 E  L2 N, Y
' k% w2 q2 P% E! W" OMany 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.
# w: B- q4 `: f5 _* v, Z$ B- P2 w  j2 H0 \* T' c6 S
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

5 A4 h0 W4 P$ z- ~( uEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
