, d) h% f/ w( a) VBased 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.
! u; Y3 n: E& G1 x5 L2 V3 c( c7 r+ d5 K
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.
& @6 `* ~+ y# Q2 ~+ [1 T8 z5 h9 q9 I) ]+ j
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
# Y1 K4 T, O  m/ R$ n/ t; b+ f/ b; A5 h: j2 K2 A: H& u0 O7 K1 h
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.5 R2 G8 t& J& N4 @" _

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