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

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 6 |4 w$ Z0 ?$ Y3 n& ~- ]
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
$ G: x" ?3 Z5 t; g1 m& j
9 [8 t, u# t, h; f2) 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.; X% ~8 r. X' Y
4 ?; H! U& |3 r
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.
6 o& ^2 V( a, X- S. Q8 w9 \9 I, p" p7 Y; @/ K: S$ l
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
