Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
* T, y( M0 a( P1 ]: XHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
6 q' I, a# {# W
- S' |4 e9 l2 N" l' @; g/ O2) 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.
8 F' q% P6 ^( D7 Q( j# c
5 \0 o2 `% C* N' v  Y/ F+ nMany 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.
/ J1 i" E* G) `. D" y
, M5 [, {, R  g/ r9 N3 \9 jA balance diet, and exercise regularly
$ n9 ?6 R6 l- W; ~. ^
  [  R: |. o# FEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
