Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ' x, {% q+ x# i9 p
6 o+ m/ G' ]8 t3 K# T5 U8 M$ w5 b8 B. E
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
3 m6 Q( i1 ]+ e" JHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
/ E6 u2 f3 u6 U! O% U3 @* v  \: c
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.3 c. \3 D  h; ]# p3 t) j) P7 r

9 D4 [/ |- z8 {+ U- PMany 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. 5 F7 v5 @, ]' D7 J6 f0 F2 a
( }+ n2 \  y1 g
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ! D* R' x( V1 _" ~( z3 T

* U- I- K* ]( E8 x( q  ?0 C6 PEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.2 w6 k5 B  Z+ N5 d9 @2 f& q* G; e: `
" X9 F8 G, c+ q0 Z6 R+ Z
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 1 B# \' x6 h0 W

/ U0 y1 Q9 R1 \& VTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
