Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
# K- T1 u8 M" Y3 y! b4 ~
  I8 K5 b% i$ s' n" |1 J' O1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! " V9 [. x, R6 A
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( P( G5 ^# D( r7 N" B7 u2 ~

: e: A! a" h$ U2 Q* F, X; g2) 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.
# Y& W# Q% k7 f
2 M5 Q/ w3 t* f' b; Q* ^" f8 r7 dMany 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.
! p7 b) M0 A/ O- o3 R) w" Q* ?: F, c$ i+ P
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 1 W. s" u* ^- o. g% C/ k  V$ T- ~
0 `3 c0 {! T% i
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
9 p" G/ F6 h, \- B. L5 w. F9 G4 Z& u  a/ J+ a9 [( i# W
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % A0 K( d& p0 d) c1 h

6 f" J* r5 K9 l; f0 S' mTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.; }7 f* P8 v" z
