8 g; P) J: s( S# G* y. cBased 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.9 ]* Z- m9 a1 O5 T- S( j+ E' t$ h

9 [. P6 T3 w. U9 z# U" b5 NMany 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

, K( i# D6 O6 {8 N" GEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
7 c! ?) m& b) E( Y% n. O% G! c, ~5 @5 D( Y1 g$ J9 ^
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. $ M$ D7 |, \" C0 o

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