Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
  c' y. e+ \1 u$ A. {" f8 J; O  ]. N+ t; C9 i4 L9 S6 |
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
. H  g& q8 S; }) N' FHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
6 s$ u3 r* J5 F4 O1 j  \0 r+ v! l/ r" B5 _$ |9 E
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.) W0 T! G/ `  |
8 p+ @9 @: o0 O& J/ M
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.
& q0 {# {7 F6 Z1 C) x7 |8 o8 M8 A8 S2 y3 H, v; i3 v
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
5 G& \0 X' p, Z* |. g8 V, Z+ b' Z
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
3 T' F. u- f% D: u% ~' {" ^$ d5 q
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 3 v$ F; p; \: i' G0 x. I4 B) I

( F- X5 l. N8 jTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
