Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, : U/ H  U5 `) U4 z! a% t* b" Z

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.
8 h0 \  P5 ~) o+ O, T$ P3 p, u5 u: Z8 Q- ^& ^6 o) M8 ]. h/ f
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. - B- z0 {: ?  |
$ d8 H5 R& j8 a" V$ f
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.4 Z3 d# Z1 ]! `2 e

$ l/ b7 K! h" w4 A* A  s3 mFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 8 ?& X3 {7 l6 n* m0 t
