Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
' {; w5 a4 \) ?0 ]- G9 }# X# {- h# w; ]
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
! \1 `0 x  I, aHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 3 b& d& G) v- e

9 }) Z% k5 Q7 \) y7 B5 k1 _1 W) y2) 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.
* o: ?- z- p/ i3 l9 X  Z7 E7 B, 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. 5 b6 [9 {% V1 l

( Z$ t2 v$ V7 g/ y2 g) GA balance diet, and exercise regularly
0 C% d) k4 q0 d% {9 w0 M" A( n/ K' `3 r$ U1 r% K/ c
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.' R3 ^( a% O; Y2 ~
