Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 2 E; P% E2 H% D( d  g, A
) P: ?) z3 i6 w& d' {9 d- t  j
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ; D# R8 l7 i9 C7 c! Z3 ^: s* _
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( E! _+ U+ |3 j, D) ^& L6 s

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.7 p  s" W, y2 {" o- q& B
, u: t* x  d- O
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.
$ d7 T5 {& h0 q& z( r9 j7 J( Q4 i  K( I) ]6 l0 l7 y& v* f! P& E* m
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
  f$ f, z. j- }3 g* ]& h& a" z) N; {5 P' @) t! e; s
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
+ h; Z' a7 T: M& b+ ~
6 t- ~; y; n5 S, K3 mFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. , k' x5 c  O' L" q  f) m. i9 B

. R7 I6 I: B6 J( n0 a' F) @3 FTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
