Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,   x  ^' ^9 `6 @

$ [9 |- Z! V3 E) a6 k8 K2) 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.5 U4 r0 n- u; _' H
0 p9 y! U6 S, x' F  ~
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. 5 ]1 k, V2 o1 z" K1 @, ]& B5 v

A balance diet, and exercise regularly   a( }1 Y9 M  P7 i2 l, S# i" L
