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

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

5 H7 l$ }) a: v8 J* c2 ]) u2) 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.) f& H2 M$ F) f1 K
3 Z. @  q2 G! o) S- ~- 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. - `: T9 C0 Y6 {7 ~, S+ Z

# y' S2 X. Y* O3 P7 ?. v5 T; tA balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.  |3 q) y) ~/ b

# O# I" q& \7 c' BFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. - O- I5 u8 I: I+ L2 W6 d5 H$ ?

& a5 D( U' B# S3 z! ^' D8 O* n% {2 fTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health." r1 i$ J# [9 M4 F3 v: k) d
