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

9 l3 F7 T1 r5 x2 H2) 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.
. n; Q$ F: g6 o  \! Y; }) [" b% W4 A. R" Q+ r) e
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.
- u' S( {0 y# v8 s) _, e. q7 o9 m- v, [% S8 W# O8 N6 {4 {; B3 g) |, U
A balance diet, and exercise regularly   e9 t6 A4 a1 r% ?& e, n  p

# M$ k& b3 |; o* d" G7 @7 nEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
5 i' i5 N! R! W$ E1 a1 r4 G  q5 n- }" S3 G0 r  z
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.
