Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, " j; V* a2 o7 U* W  G

! R# N( h) P# V* Y2) 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./ o: i1 ]6 q+ w

6 Y0 \' m1 [. F7 b5 v0 i8 bMany 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.

A balance diet, and exercise regularly
