' D+ b6 d' \; O& u' Q, hBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
( K) f5 e1 G7 D
# {2 t6 o+ u& v/ B( ]& t1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
# Q6 j% B6 l, \High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

4 q5 `+ Q' i: M( M' h% B2) 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.9 c# l( B5 \9 J0 Q
7 A" W0 O3 h% @9 x% T# s, ?( @* w" X
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.
: `$ O# N7 |2 c9 h, C" W% G8 B6 p7 U0 U! j( i2 o  }, W; ^
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
1 [5 Z8 [# h' I* ?2 v4 `: `4 E
1 e- F& k& U+ S: AEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
/ ~* a  T" J6 Z) E' z) b
) B3 z  A1 g' O1 j) ]* AFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
6 d: b; V2 ?) x- _& ^# s2 ~
: k9 b* ~7 y6 S3 J# V& OTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
