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

7 _% U& _( {# Q- i6 u7 O$ 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.0 ?- V# {5 O% _8 q! b- a
$ x: `1 J# n- k4 H# u& ~5 d
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. / W/ d# n  W: b

A balance diet, and exercise regularly
