Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
9 ^7 k3 V6 G' j% r& P, K8 w, `8 b* Q0 w& G
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
" D, }9 {; y* }8 x6 ?& D/ i& O* HHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 8 {) z# |3 c) p2 _$ z

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.
+ ], o( l7 x; j8 O0 I/ q+ s( C* c9 Q. T5 r& D7 @1 C. \, r
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. 3 s1 D% X, y; ?5 U

% ?! N1 _/ n) L: f2 V" cA balance diet, and exercise regularly 2 g4 ?$ C6 V& i/ Y* S
