Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
/ o) n: R4 x6 @7 q0 i( V0 Z6 u' i$ R. z' ]
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 4 G4 d' R# w( U- S
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.
! `7 f  ~/ b7 j9 @9 ~& {) S% J
" A+ o% F8 Q- m) N0 u2 p1 U2 O, HMany 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. . D7 ]1 b2 E3 y# Q3 q

4 P1 {- \7 Z" JA balance diet, and exercise regularly ( I) A  h6 B6 S9 w: r9 {

, W1 u- D8 e! F: JEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
. D2 g& A$ x; f5 r8 f+ F8 `% y6 S7 b+ t0 W0 j
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. - n2 }2 E3 t- A2 E0 R

- y8 x: z; r% VTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
