1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 0 Y) x% x( u% R1 P3 T  w. f$ p
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.0 N( ^; L' W) i
3 s# C9 c. N; m0 `+ |7 M: z' S8 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.
5 I/ Z( q$ `( K# p) Q# r9 h5 ^0 M5 t6 n8 o- m1 }; I/ x! P# z2 N- M
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

. T' N  ]9 p3 N6 ?! M. y/ @8 I) b/ i3 D3 |9 I( F- T2 U
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
