Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. $ N$ E! z- L6 C8 P& s1 l, h6 [

* m0 [& h7 I; d) Y; P2) 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.# o( B; E3 s( P- H+ P

3 @( X* r2 g8 {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.
- q7 G+ w4 \* t$ I& |5 f- m; h" e" n& {" q* l
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 6 _) Z+ U6 d5 `# y

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.# ?/ N4 Z4 {: p, z

: {: K4 U) {) u' [- B2 ZFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 3 ^% Y- \& ?# J, x# ]1 d9 v
' g/ b- M' t: u; I- j
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
