Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, % i7 n' F$ n! Q6 n1 \1 P* p# O. N

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.
: t1 X6 A2 {" B1 t: Y2 [0 o5 P- m# R- Q
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.
0 q" ~1 k: ?' w) E) ?& g. T3 X" G5 A3 i6 `8 n! g( h
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.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
