$ B- Y8 O& I+ j" i2 j/ W; C+ j% dBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, & C: t& o) ]: _" C" F/ D

+ ]' u( e& w; T/ M1 x4 j+ v2) 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.
9 L2 T0 C1 A' @4 D  m7 C4 k% m: r% ?. v+ R& N. R/ O& Y
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.

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.0 i- ^4 k3 }* i6 m0 n

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.4 {' p- S2 S7 T  m- m7 Y
