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

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - J; Z6 h, c! R, p& s+ {; K7 _: _
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
& l/ V1 K3 a9 z' i4 E1 N
/ a/ }/ }4 o; B/ v6 Y' l  h2) 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.. V3 y4 ^# g1 J0 f  D* Y
" i: p3 Z, Y0 y" d! 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.
7 `: y0 J5 `% F2 O- |2 h, Q2 [7 y7 N* P  `, m( S
A balance diet, and exercise regularly   p8 f1 ~. P# S% s* g

3 u6 i; D/ \. g4 DEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.5 a/ {( ?/ l6 J7 P" N3 t

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ! Q4 a/ B( V1 g8 G: V

# m& [  k7 S& I$ qTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
