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

, c; `* h9 O% Z0 e! F* A2) 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.3 G- D: ]( ]8 p4 w1 N2 Y

: u0 |$ b8 l, ^* |, 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.
/ r/ z* S4 {! L" R  `( R8 J4 }
! o1 {& F% ?* Z% N. qA 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.& G3 {- N0 X# w. S
+ i+ v9 q1 j/ e! A2 B+ ^
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 0 n/ T5 V. E4 B8 M* m9 z

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.8 d. z, k7 o  m# a7 ]- X
