Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, & P, v1 [8 B  e: |4 r1 D

, u% I0 n, J- ?/ E! v# P- |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 T; H% a. N% y& Q7 k

' K- b# |+ }( W6 GMany 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. ) l/ w7 P& J, M, _

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

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