9 p6 z: b2 _  n. O" R4 NBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

& x# a6 P8 d' j, O% M2) 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.2 |) W+ {( S0 z6 \
% o6 z, d# o" ^3 B+ i* @) B
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.
" K2 \; A; K; q  _. s5 j! @4 {( h. K+ W' n5 f
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ( c, F* q1 w2 k5 e! a4 _! d
; |$ r' X3 x% m* ^; C0 {" E/ g, K' g7 `
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
! {: c6 C/ z# C: P4 X. N. Y4 A# L: t4 p9 X, e( j
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 2 E; m' C. u3 [
6 _3 X5 G/ f3 m4 T3 V
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
