High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

. v) Q# _6 R5 G: `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.
) u$ j; p4 R$ n2 r2 l6 E& j1 ^! ?0 H6 d0 p
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.
7 `. w* q0 A9 h7 e4 r$ V% H0 W0 }; A8 F" l2 l/ C
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 0 u6 B7 F7 B9 Y6 `0 }7 H, M

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
/ S% o5 y$ l* q5 e3 ]- e7 d! o4 A" o$ ]8 B: N' n
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % x6 E! W' n+ z* e/ t8 h9 m

2 z. j- @5 T4 R2 A3 ITherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
