Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 e) G# M( T: b4 j

' A/ w- N; D( c% x9 |) ]1 Q: x2) 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.! ]  ]. w& c! r+ x) k! i

9 y, k2 ^# i: yMany 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.
* [) B. x6 w" c3 T* ~1 J0 \% V  I/ `+ a) E2 z
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
! j( y4 i* b9 u. O0 ]. r  l- M* q* v4 t' |3 _- y9 B: p
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.. n$ O& g1 k( a; K  J. o! q

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 7 s' t* `% w$ E7 f# z

, b1 S: s2 L' V; h$ |% A/ ]- J5 zTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
