Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ) S/ [: T+ ]( H" r
% J1 u- Z- ~9 C4 j2 J3 M- O( j: w
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ' ?+ J" d- A  V! `9 {
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
! Z9 q! a1 x! G
) L' S0 p' B! W$ L! C! W* C2) 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.
1 [- h  t3 J1 s8 ~1 E& W3 o9 `* z* y1 `4 o/ E
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.
; A6 W+ k  l! `3 r; t
4 ^( I& [" P- |" {" G- LA balance diet, and exercise regularly " [; u$ O% O: f0 b9 O
; C* [8 U% Y- Y% {3 O  w* C, T
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.- W" P) o* j! S. F4 K' R2 W' ^
8 B1 Q0 m8 t7 b3 c/ f% _
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.   {! L2 \; |7 |4 C
; L! m) x1 Y2 B3 ^2 F
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
