+ [3 l0 x# ~) cBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

6 w0 T, A6 g: m4 q6 s2) 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.
6 O; D' ?; d3 |7 m  s: ?+ I6 V5 y, S" D6 L& p: a5 |* {" [
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. " o2 {# f7 N+ H* Z& U, A" \: {

A balance diet, and exercise regularly
