5 r, l6 i$ `3 b2 \8 cBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, * A2 x. S( F* y1 D; D

, o- P$ g+ b7 n, U& F$ C! }, c2) 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 [% s* W- E3 _  e; A
9 c: }4 E, v5 sMany 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. # |- v! M+ I, s- V$ n4 b3 l3 z2 r1 I+ l7 U
2 G6 s* J0 G( Y- _! B/ k- q) m
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
& o" f, P9 O; j" R) W, H$ a/ W; X* N$ c. c; k) Z( n  b
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
" n. q9 f4 b, q$ B" u# @( I/ H: M; i6 ]! a% V0 U
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
