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

. l7 l% T1 ?+ G3 {, Z: _0 B2) 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.
1 [7 a& o. _/ c/ }( b- h- [4 s" p, b$ e) O0 `$ w
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.

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.4 L) B, g' M' j
