Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ) ?4 \/ W: p9 y" ^1 v1 I% [! U: P

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.
: k2 E  q% @3 N( e& c- l+ C. N1 T" d2 Z: m  v
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. 2 P5 F4 o1 V! ~  X' W4 A& g

: X' g2 Y$ M  B7 d9 _A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
