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.

8 k' }4 W; ^: T( M+ ?' LMany 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.
1 m3 Y, W4 j3 B6 h' F
( @" U8 \8 n& v6 pA 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.6 t2 U# _( h) t8 {. @

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. $ ?5 p% e2 k! y, G- ]) j; E

9 ]. m3 ^& K0 o' E5 q, x' Z9 t, jTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health., P" l: S& I4 d% w: x
