3 g( |+ O7 k9 c( HBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

# O- r1 j/ }4 B! `' B2) 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.

. @% X2 h( e5 E0 d/ C0 J- PMany 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. * s( R. c, R; M0 u( u: n/ d
# ^& P# O/ [% G/ X( F* Z# h
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 3 X& m/ I; C' L4 ?4 M( t

. E' R  p" i( L& c' E. Y2 N+ UEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
- n. j; m$ t  T- s8 Q" z# c$ [( _7 J' C, c" w* y% X
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
6 F* s# [( o) x4 ^7 k' K1 x3 h+ e, [* f% A4 ^2 G" P$ f  j
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
