Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, + t, P( Y$ c; e* W8 p
2 Y# k# M  Q' b/ Z2 E- P
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
2 F) `8 B2 J" F# G( kHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
8 C; N/ A; G) r7 [$ Z( o' k8 I5 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.
; ^* l" v. B" F" p' c
2 j$ g6 o3 m$ E1 w$ {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. 1 c# q. t  \5 ?0 @- R
2 `) {5 I7 j5 W
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
