* t# m, [% ?' h, \( bBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / E$ ~; ?# b1 C: Q; `7 v1 H
5 _* u% K9 f5 b  n
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! $ E! f! z( i+ d: \. n- R3 [( L
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; b. O( `) F# \+ L5 w1 i* \* z  v

& l. n% s0 j* q2) 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.
, K+ [/ ^2 Q9 g: P
  k8 G$ @% h1 L! AMany 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. ! K  }0 U2 N, M  X

' i( G7 D$ l, z  U4 lA balance diet, and exercise regularly
' F0 \: A2 {: J4 V9 ]1 [- l$ S( f- q7 I8 K1 {2 _7 [
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
/ L: s& g& Q/ n' K; [
5 h' X- L/ F+ ~" f/ v4 |, @. {4 cFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
: [( Y" C, y- c9 n# h$ O9 u+ T' @1 o6 E7 M( T( V/ I" S
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
