Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
; M+ u( j' w3 P. P' \6 L2 n* U6 n: l: V
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 0 [' F. T7 ^# l( Y
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
. a/ T4 I) e1 I1 }7 N7 w/ t3 W9 P; ]
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.
  @  J, ]8 y. M' H- U' G3 [, i, D4 ^9 m  C0 s2 r7 l' 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.
: h2 S# [1 z6 j( O7 A/ z9 w! L- G; Y
A balance diet, and exercise regularly / \( ?4 m- D5 L# }5 ?7 i! F( E

5 D6 Q5 K* ^2 \1 \4 S( a; GEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
; E4 E5 m# m+ o6 X7 ~* V! v0 S/ r2 v, N5 \' W
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
