Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
- l5 r4 ?, p- ~6 |/ v1 f5 Q$ Y  w. ~
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
/ |, v" {. m. R2 }. fHigh-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.
6 g  k' q1 a# `5 H* c( I8 F9 J/ ~4 r+ e( q7 a, G) d4 Q
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. 4 {# x* V+ m. F& ~

  Q0 m% T7 Y. R6 U9 }8 b8 mA balance diet, and exercise regularly

( M  t: ^, K7 p* A" d& n( O% N8 E! v9 @3 L
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.& `( m5 F0 G  q9 t9 T% S4 j/ W
