Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

3 R7 f* P4 j4 N, T9 v% l2) 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.( c! P& g1 O, w9 F% ]5 o5 f

% ]) P! s3 g  w  u7 H2 jMany 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. - j( ]/ ~, q( \. H% m$ l

) Y. o# k6 G0 ZA balance diet, and exercise regularly
# J1 B0 G4 b5 ]' t3 P' o; k. {# H$ N1 F, e9 J. u
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
: k; R# n: y9 ~  J8 ]& w' Q6 {( U/ F" k4 `+ H" C8 U# n
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
  E, V; P- [) k, E. \9 Y7 k1 P( r' ]# o. u
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.8 A2 s. u% k6 b- g
