1 t; X: C( ?  @& n% y) gBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

& x' s4 }5 v' ~' y2) 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.
. _5 @( w3 J, X) R% B4 y  ?/ X/ C+ b0 K  [5 ]( M  w
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. 2 {: f( A6 }! Y

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ( v9 O  ~5 w$ [  W! q8 {

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