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

3 \0 ~4 G. Z) v3 d' S2) 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.+ e' `' i( J( A% j

& X. c4 Y+ a7 S- g1 ]4 Y6 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. " I( L- w/ ?8 r; h( ?& q- j

  `4 `0 k  V1 Q5 CA balance diet, and exercise regularly 5 [, P9 ^$ k, @3 ]% M* M+ k

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
  _( Y) o: u  Y; _8 T! r0 s& d5 q4 @" ]" v6 `, ~5 n  ?+ ~/ T
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 3 r, ?* D0 ^. {7 Y$ p3 W2 O) ?- T# l7 m

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.* n) e5 a, K2 l5 W/ z
