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

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.3 {% Y3 f* I) @7 K$ i, z! Q

% m* m+ ?$ Q) v0 C1 V" |" xMany 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. 6 R# |: A  ^" S) v) n) M

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