# S- V+ S& E( s" JBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 L" t$ g- D7 y- P: ~( i

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.
. m" g/ t+ k! e" V
8 z- ~4 H! ]" G# y$ H) b/ _# WMany 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. ( u8 f, J2 N) H+ o: X; w$ B

A balance diet, and exercise regularly ; U5 X" P; g4 M8 m

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.+ ^/ S  |0 x9 E; U; X

$ \1 @, f. z" V6 jFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 8 @, T5 k2 Y& H- P% I) C8 {+ U
& }9 s; e& U* P& i% h3 W$ `' z  n
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.4 K/ ^9 k! b" Y3 x  \9 x% d  T
