Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, : k2 N, @, S# o9 _/ M# {

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.& q0 e! ~0 j+ ?8 g: I$ B* {  X* v
& M# M2 t* y8 j2 X
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. $ {; v7 g( u- m9 U

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