Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, " k! h8 G) U( Y4 u8 ?( n

1 Q$ Z3 P" g5 X9 D0 N5 |1 ~2 M. J) K1 [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.5 q1 d: z) I# W. S* F. b

3 B! C5 q6 D: m3 ~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.
. C$ l+ B& ~* D' m& [8 B4 ^% j9 r9 b7 D3 {: s1 m- z
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
6 q) u/ x9 t9 G2 B+ s$ ?2 D& e/ A/ A" c9 t# M: H
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
9 X& t1 i% B; J# R7 R
: S! g( ~1 P5 t( Y# G' {5 EFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
  P- i9 O7 E% V+ C9 ~; ]& K2 G$ I( J' M$ D
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.  R; P2 S2 G  t
