' {0 ^7 k: g# `Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, + F5 c: ]: s9 f% t& F, T" n

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.: o" W# c: C" S& J* x9 k: M- @% [
) P2 w! ]8 }$ s# G, r) z
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; p0 X3 B- `; x
# O3 S' Z. X. @% m# S# D6 x
A balance diet, and exercise regularly % G1 I, j9 V& A" g& z2 r* c8 D

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.4 [7 ?% M1 E$ [% o

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.! Y# R" B$ M& n' S
