Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

' g" S4 o4 O. U/ [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.
- h7 F5 L9 V5 }
3 ]4 H. F( `' G. E( g( ?9 \) K4 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.   C: I7 t; ]6 P" r1 c$ a: W1 |

A balance diet, and exercise regularly ' z# S! R; \/ D+ b" f4 S" k7 M

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.5 h0 F" I; `: {) ]4 n" N& t- L

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 6 [+ V8 R1 }% I# b

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.7 P6 C" L- u2 q
