Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, : Z# B; w0 |2 e  M0 J

0 l. t+ b3 e( E1 Z- n5 {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.. Z, J; s4 E. N; g$ V
# a5 V  l' w6 U0 Z% [8 e% V
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.
( ~# k% o# h) T7 U* P# W( D3 t  k( _7 Z" o, P% u* ^
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

: @& d4 Y" I9 P3 q3 FFor 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.
