Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . o( Z( D  X  u4 N* J

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.; d& ?. \" S8 m  e1 |0 j% |

9 i+ Y) Z, P. _/ \% k( X( NMany 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.
. l* P' \2 s- f; M2 m; B5 l( _& i  |* x9 _
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 9 C" v! G& k& E: i" m  Y3 h

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
* _6 r% S7 F6 K: w! \: `; d( e& i2 j' H' E& Z2 R/ p) o
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. $ {0 I# ~; ^3 N& u$ Q

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.6 X& C8 _) [3 ]4 ]3 X3 W
