1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! , z4 ]# S0 J  Z1 g, X# r3 |
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. $ O1 q1 G1 D/ h) U# g' f+ ^( B
& F# e1 M" u& D$ A# u
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.1 i+ I+ B: h* v! ^- h3 w
) w2 q6 H- l( n8 E) \% p: S% t6 ]
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.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 3 U+ b: s- p3 R8 d
