Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 9 @2 @- r- z& [

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. + M  `9 G8 @5 c/ z; E& }

! u: _+ C, z0 L0 z8 N' |& _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.
4 G  x& N  M' t# ~/ e
; C/ T2 Q9 U3 D# Q1 c7 RMany 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.

A balance diet, and exercise regularly
