Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 0 V4 x* O, [. y/ _2 n1 |5 ^

' O; ?. J" R  S7 k6 u. S+ D; n7 [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.
5 M1 F, j5 W$ Y4 b$ ^: k; Z; ~0 Y& {6 t" q% _* w
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. 8 \- ~! l+ _- }/ N) j1 U

. [4 c, f+ t5 ^8 xA balance diet, and exercise regularly
: k7 g7 P8 C/ Y3 Z, o$ U- P" k5 W  b- f' b. D+ @9 o8 a% f9 @! \1 k
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.6 `) _  f) f8 k! I
1 T4 O$ T8 Y' i; ^' n
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.   Q% ]; y4 i/ n* D: b$ x+ R
( U4 F0 R2 i" A) W  w2 g
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
