High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

. H4 v4 e. E% y, n% 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.9 w( ]' C# {8 V- B+ \; O
5 n) E1 x9 A- Q3 z* k
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. " G( \" B0 R* K4 d1 I6 P1 `8 f

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.! H9 n# S: S$ F$ O  H
