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

4 \9 ?( A1 B/ L4 E/ 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.: X7 y' E7 j5 H0 {0 G
+ P; W+ P' y  p6 p) G
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.

& \  W$ X2 K7 q# S4 yA balance diet, and exercise regularly & V5 u0 @! J2 X, s

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
2 }; r+ _' Z) F$ _0 N: K/ }) M7 f; L- e2 z' Z9 c
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

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