4 }0 a8 h) r+ z3 L2 ~" E( aBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

* u' P* O3 X( c- ]1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 8 b* D4 @( b2 k! T# V
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
/ c# D5 R0 V* S& N4 u
& E: ~+ J+ U7 Z# S5 G3 n- N9 GMany 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.
" Q; I1 D# Y) K( K5 G8 O3 L3 h3 _4 K) x1 W6 p
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ! g% X/ l1 O+ D

2 H/ l& F: G/ G3 KEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
9 c0 @7 m* z! f1 M9 t2 s
2 W9 A3 z% U: Z6 m  y$ u! `4 bFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
: l7 I' b# V6 X% K5 x/ {; O: L$ ^& O! p+ D( o4 ?2 ?
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
