Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,   l8 K6 A& C2 M! M. k7 w2 O* s) ?6 U

' o3 C" g0 i, G4 Z2) 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." R  |  k+ d" ?* n6 k

+ p, i( b% y7 \4 {3 sMany 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. 6 i+ H, e7 Q; s% R7 A. x: U) M
% h8 Y* H4 M; i- N) X
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.
