Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 3 u9 S  c: B9 H, M0 E( i

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.. t3 v+ {! y) _4 x3 F
: J) s. f$ R4 @0 x5 h( j
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.
, [# N' q' h0 ^8 _
( i2 O8 g- I% L: t! C" g4 TA balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ! D; h3 |% _- K# S9 h

; ^0 I) W: a6 R  DTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
