Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
* B: Z& _+ C; O' v0 \- S6 W* w$ }. P; }) C
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! $ g; L& v; Z3 V) D
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( ]! c% F" [0 u, E+ i9 E

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.: ]3 s' O9 r3 ~; {9 E4 u. D( [

% g& {; p2 m" g) e. JMany 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.
" a# w% n5 I, @
# R% G& y" J; S# Z7 h6 nA balance diet, and exercise regularly
+ P  n3 q1 t* Z* }- b( E3 v' X& ^$ r0 n0 C5 g
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
( [- E4 X! O( c. i7 A& V- Q3 L& w$ q2 b/ Z. h/ g( q( N) a
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ; y% c5 B2 M2 _9 y
: H8 S: G9 C6 u
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.# g1 h4 I  e3 U5 \4 a
