Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, % A" z# E$ |8 a  p' ~

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.
- e& Q% m" ]( r# ]6 G0 D8 B* ^. N
7 d# h1 `' X# ?8 q% GMany 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. $ {- `, u. x0 d# `3 e9 p& L
' l" n+ Y6 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.+ d2 A* C* g7 E' l$ T  \# q

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. + w& ~4 ?4 y, g9 k3 I$ y' \4 Z

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.$ ]" J- D4 O6 x- w
