Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
; E6 k! E* `: k# \( t) N& o" W; d2 g$ Z% G/ h4 @# Y
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.' B' F0 ~0 w) d& `

& T2 i3 m/ y. z# X: @- oMany 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.
0 j7 s/ k) k0 r2 N: J  y* e3 n/ G: G3 {: t
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
