Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ! k3 X  n# T# p( f) w6 O1 k

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.; a- |" j, a  Q1 d3 M5 E1 z

$ T; o4 P; K! @/ `! T; dMany 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.
, n& P# p! c& _, g: l9 R- z4 V! g$ U3 j
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.
, R8 ?" i& p0 q# P$ ]2 Q: w' h; L& w" i
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 3 ?; ?3 z' l, B* O2 Z0 t5 n

% ~: w3 O6 Q4 W( D' KTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
