- C( C8 [+ H/ c; \6 T. JBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, " ~6 q6 ?% T; z! M; {

- |' P# ]2 ]; J, Q0 U: I+ A2) 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.
* h! E- s6 w. w* c% a% Y% N; q* ~4 w7 t  A0 E8 q
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.
5 I3 N% X: y6 g" L. `
7 l9 b+ ^* x( H+ y$ M4 e: Y( fA balance diet, and exercise regularly
* O8 z" [2 G. y$ M
, J! M) _3 e& v( C1 HEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
% p) n1 c* q/ \, N, B: N
* c6 r3 h, W1 g7 fFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
" Z. @* A, t/ }; X8 B1 Y# {9 X; r, F7 Y! k9 c$ K
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.$ k8 g/ _+ g* L
