' S  p* z1 |: l8 J* QBased 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.' P8 F' q, J& [7 p

$ g, ^4 m5 z; o9 h1 P( vMany 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.
$ ~0 l, f5 h/ V: i+ @. O8 @6 O' {, @2 r$ o$ o  U) D
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.$ v) C5 o/ _( _2 l( m7 G- |

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % ~+ _; ^# H' {$ z3 f

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.: Y- s9 ^( t4 x! W/ j7 P
