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.3 u" _% Q. M1 J2 x$ ]& u7 \1 q; w) C
% v  F) G" e* c- y% l$ \
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. - U8 G& `2 f3 T6 n: D% j" ~

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
! b( V: Q! l6 J" u: r( m. [5 f. Z$ R! d4 ~% Z+ C- N5 Y
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
