( O: q1 ~- Z; ^! E

. f( [) i3 ^8 P0 IBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
( ]0 m; u+ d. n" P8 j" ~4 P0 H9 M1 `7 C# \# ^; w
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.
# f' X( B; ?& J% X8 J8 B9 A
; `" S- q9 \( n0 iMany 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. ; ^8 r' ^: I: s: a
5 Q0 B# f  J& x$ y, h
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.0 r) \4 E: t0 t/ w; @6 C: j
