" K! |2 q+ j$ Q# XBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, - ?/ G5 P0 h. R/ u

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! & R, x4 {+ T1 J+ B
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
' ^( P8 }: v% ?
* b. L. @, p3 T; Q: z5 ?# s: N2 @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. / B1 a6 J* o0 A) p: O- t8 c8 W, y: u

% M' c7 g1 h& ^% ~2 X& ?A balance diet, and exercise regularly 3 L& r, i6 R7 H# s3 B# A" ]
