Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, " F0 x/ o9 {* e6 H+ K! a! N

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.* n1 W7 ~( z7 m1 \2 z
0 G' z. h5 P4 w! n
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 o! w7 F) A( ]+ S% e+ n4 |
8 W: R; ^( [+ L* ]7 t8 j4 O7 d7 u
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
% r/ p" D9 Z" a+ g  T& U' o6 U6 y3 A! o6 a  K
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

1 s. u+ ?0 C& \+ t0 b6 LFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. & y% r( G! [3 a5 p" \* H' ~. d0 P

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