Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
4 v. ]$ t6 _+ P( H
; k" W! O4 q( ~* w9 s* t3 w1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! / t! c0 I) D# r, D
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.: Z" l  \- C3 H4 T* L3 v7 u$ n, M
4 V6 j! K% H7 ~  v8 M9 M/ S. O
Many 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.
4 M8 }; h0 f* s) ^3 P! m. c3 x* Q7 I, J' ?+ A* U
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 9 V, b- o$ l7 `0 l4 w8 N4 u9 i

" `! c6 W" X( v9 pEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.; w6 Z6 g- [' C. p' M2 b8 I; x

$ ], h) c: M3 IFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
1 P# f4 G  _% d: \3 {* b' d
( z! S9 l: _" [% {' dTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
