Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 4 U# x# J- A) ?/ {% G7 f  s1 i

6 R2 I+ Y; z+ V. E2) 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.' v# A) `7 t+ J9 a) q

/ R) e5 f: }' ]( q7 S7 W) 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. 2 ~/ n' l6 _' L

A balance diet, and exercise regularly ( ?" v" |# G) k
