Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
, x& n  _1 W. ]$ b4 @9 u3 w8 V8 U9 E: T$ V" z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! / u. d- h# q* M
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.) ~& _4 R( |& I

" x/ x0 ]' a/ x2 o. f! l' bMany 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.
; c! G" L# j/ E. c8 H' N' R$ h  T  G) B1 E, q) g- ]5 O" H" O
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
  Y4 X8 j/ \8 m% R; z' e" n# s( @/ ?
; u$ \& M4 Z8 p9 ]& x1 qEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.% C- p  g  u) g7 b
$ J* W- K9 N, W6 l) z& ?# `
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
0 t1 }" y  Y5 m- ~8 w/ |, d0 m+ a/ G+ ]2 g" @* H
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
