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

3 \& l+ Y$ \- t2) 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.$ s* y; |+ a3 W" K9 _8 a5 l5 g9 ~
+ I$ O) _4 Z3 E$ H$ F+ ^7 x
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.
' v4 q8 d5 ~2 w" E/ o6 D2 m! P0 }( b6 c3 _- \! K4 X' d
A balance diet, and exercise regularly - n8 A$ S4 L2 H/ c

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.5 e0 b: H. ^1 O$ j) w4 ~3 m

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.6 C, P1 m' Z/ Z, h
