" h9 E9 w0 t/ K$ D6 K6 SBased 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.
( Q1 t- i& M, o, p/ Y* H- c# W7 q! M5 M; M
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. : p8 h- a" G. Y- c- w5 U, k2 s

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.& Z: m. b. g( Q- a) K+ y

/ L- t: y$ w' h$ y" CFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
