4 O4 ^  E6 j3 t3 O6 PBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 4 D# q2 u7 |6 O; x6 ]  p' B) w

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.  f- m6 l% j0 e# j7 T
3 ?3 }" P9 ]9 g8 S0 i3 {
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. # o: H& h% s8 T& b
! e7 |* B1 l/ I* v! t5 k
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ' h3 J7 l# A  N3 j: B$ _3 j

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. . ^# l- |( ~2 L, u7 H

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.+ @) t. B8 s. Y& G$ z; q
