Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ( J# m. X3 q  q

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.3 C9 m+ B' Y& ]* o0 U9 r- G
& l: f  ~  n7 \; Q! D& V$ u
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. * F5 ?% ~1 I/ a2 g1 c; ]- u

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.9 R0 B6 V1 t0 F5 c* E. M
