# u1 ~; h) q# _9 s" ~Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
# v  I7 Q- J; y9 d. v' \- [3 z' u  p& {" }/ _- m' l

2 U4 n) q, p) K7 M$ g& z2) 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.( g0 d% `3 Y- t3 f6 _% A* n
& H* o! a) W& D3 K8 [2 D6 H5 A
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 s' j: T2 X- A; w; S- m1 Z
' k* |8 H0 \4 F* f& r: S/ d
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 1 Z' \# F( M- u. b5 Q5 ^9 P4 h

2 B/ L4 |# P' p' f/ @Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.( M3 R: T/ _9 F5 o9 ~$ s0 j
/ ~( b0 O" w$ @# r+ L* n: u
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. + Q# C) f: y+ A2 t7 U

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
