+ ^" {( i/ }5 O8 r/ rBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ; Y( s7 ~7 d# G

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.; x& o2 H* k, f8 m. ~
. H/ C9 u! o- J; A; C: v2 R
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.

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