Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

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.4 a. Y  W' E4 s$ c) f4 o' T

# P. u, ?3 p+ j; [* [2 B& bMany 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.
& X! b+ b$ p4 Q; w- x8 G9 s, Y8 k9 V  ^* t; `% B, U2 I8 m
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.+ o. ~5 E7 ]! h/ f- r; s6 g
6 o6 O" r2 `! ?
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 1 Z7 ?( [: E  n+ u5 u

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