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

( Y$ p. i) `' R/ }' N, j2) 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.
) W2 n' s! h+ E: |: W* C
0 t) d- F& x% D$ s5 R0 p8 eMany 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.
$ K; }/ n# R  q. Q! {! ~9 D& Y+ Y! Y1 E$ `2 F/ Y2 B
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

. U, i( m1 A# a3 V0 `" q0 L$ B' FEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
' J3 |- l: D0 }4 Z' m: l& s5 \* W; x9 T6 G
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. # F. C9 B2 j" @" K

$ `1 D$ c3 r0 N( ]( {% X" y4 ETherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
