Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 B" j0 z3 T2 U8 h
. \$ D& b; t4 d: v6 K" p! _
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.5 a* P, R/ w1 F4 ~

& ?2 a- W! k% w7 l( VMany 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. & @+ R( m% n7 j. j
2 ~. A3 I( c; q$ W, D
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.4 M: X8 J3 M6 m6 h$ a7 o
