Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
# a# S  j8 K$ f% R5 z9 K. x9 d% K  M: w8 ^' @1 q0 l% _
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
0 F1 f$ s3 R9 h" ?7 LHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. . `7 M, g( B) w4 `% f% ?* ~6 A* q

' B: Y) l( j2 q+ k, ~) q2) 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.3 r0 E! g8 o3 h" p9 t
2 a) B$ ]$ r4 W- w4 I5 P- Z! c
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 r. ?9 t5 ]$ ?3 y" w

! u* n" }( j1 f% g' YFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.7 u: D* N0 v5 y. d& ]8 x- L
