( `/ C7 b' |. D/ q8 o  _' t. @7 ZBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
! ~, W6 e7 V* B, X; `0 t  J5 Z4 t# z5 x7 ]7 R7 ]! j
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
" f  `9 n+ ~( G: M! c; g! WHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
$ O* w( B3 D9 a7 ]1 }
7 E) E! p& F$ s  y9 t) ~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.
+ e4 m8 R3 y  M) G2 ~- J* h" G- y  t% A9 n
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. ) v# n$ z& z" h" a( O

5 l6 d, A( K% i/ q, @A balance diet, and exercise regularly
2 l# Y* R* |& S& L, @3 F0 C, t8 i+ J$ t$ E) B$ U$ M8 m5 Q6 U6 e, o
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.7 G% c0 g$ @' {; ^3 L6 }! K  i
8 ~. Q8 H) U3 M9 a) w' G
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
/ U& K* d& }5 P* L! H, V5 A+ N4 o3 w% c7 d: B: F7 N$ S! n
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
