* \) @! g5 V* g! ?0 m) z+ |1 w; GBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, & c2 |9 Z- F- A2 ^- a

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.' j0 \7 \! r# \2 M- |/ _
5 X% b6 Q8 j2 w% j$ ~/ Z) g- i0 i8 |" r
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.
( X' M& i) {. i7 Z, V3 `# J8 N
' D8 E& w  Q% h0 h3 L. G9 n) wA balance diet, and exercise regularly
2 o% A/ O6 [  K, w# W$ K$ M! I) G. D/ |6 J4 R  x
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.- M6 U. Z* T; X8 b" d# m

# h4 S/ I$ L5 L) a8 |* Q6 K% pFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. * d8 y) z# O9 O- C* _+ O+ b
1 @% `2 ~$ I' e# S9 X
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.: k6 x& g1 q" u
