/ x( m- {  c. B4 ^7 A: f% B; SBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
  k! r5 `1 N# E8 f* A+ U/ C- M, \
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 4 z' t, m8 R" x2 b
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
9 s! J, \/ X* L; g9 t& |1 c. \9 m" C* E, ~: z! f" J
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.
9 h6 ?" w  Z2 W6 l/ X+ F7 O( Y, ]" }0 D( W, N) {3 H
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
3 M5 t3 H3 I6 }& I; H1 C) t
: X- p; E+ _* ]: P3 d" {) p7 |8 uEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
  R; w( ~9 Z! r" b5 s* v8 k5 r
% H& G& [9 [3 l5 H# UFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % Z" O: w8 s4 y4 w

6 w" t, p& [- X' }4 u* i# r7 JTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.9 B6 |: q1 E. V
