1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - Y7 R9 L+ e0 b
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

/ ^4 @; B, M7 \; j2) 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.1 \* Q9 V5 `" H3 e% `0 H

  G- k) I0 B, ?! W; PMany 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.
