* N3 i- _& }" P. a* V; HBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ J0 h5 j9 l1 g; c
/ ^7 Z2 G& f2 g* N8 M
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
& y0 [5 U" R0 ^- C2 Y3 Y) Q% D( wHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 5 V6 I. [% R* w# g- l3 y
2 d7 Q0 `) t0 C
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.+ {$ g0 `! s1 x* X; L' `
3 N& |3 _/ r) _/ 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. * i1 P. W; b) n
( H% T" E4 w1 [5 }& A
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
* _0 R% K5 a3 g  D( a& f; b" H0 d# E- ?4 C5 S: n
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.3 N* W1 Q0 j# `% S: X3 e

0 R% x2 i6 G; ]0 GFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
. V/ t, |& x# K  O/ ^; a3 u7 G- w" u' t1 u" l
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health./ z1 J( z; B- F2 k
