; H, @  v+ Z% O4 L' qBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! # j  W  ^% W; s: l5 e; c
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 6 T' I( B& W. u: H

9 E+ ~$ V7 x/ |2 `# ~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.
* b$ E/ f" W+ r! f- h: `9 x' z. w
, i7 L0 w7 J2 q/ j: ^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. ; K. Y+ d) E) R+ n( B9 ~
$ _! d5 q3 Q  |6 k6 E7 X+ z9 h
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

2 `! B$ ~3 ?0 j1 Y! wEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
5 D6 z6 |% R+ K# F& r: j6 T1 h/ ?- h, u+ v1 l
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
0 j$ D6 R" d" a5 i1 Q1 o; i  B% r% h6 W4 [& i7 J9 M) g- ]$ K( z
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
