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

2) 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 W; A8 r/ l) J0 E- A1 p) t0 y) `/ o& ]" A/ A+ n$ B. u% h3 G+ X+ v
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.
; F6 S! |% t" h( H5 \/ j6 O4 G: V0 p8 w% }* B& ^
A 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.1 P+ ^) k3 q! c( w0 t1 A
