% g1 _  |) E$ xBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 4 q0 m9 S6 s' j+ b7 g8 p
1 b5 \  O% T) [
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! , L1 y0 H  J: t3 x- q0 }/ M& M2 o
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
, C0 |8 y& U1 M$ V
5 b- F! ~( |2 p) g# n" B3 ^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.7 u. Q" _0 ]! M1 t: @
* N( Z) I' ^) C' m- g
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.
2 P; Q/ l9 ?: h( G* E0 b% `* p) b, k$ p# F
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
4 K4 u; E( O9 x: o9 Z' a# j6 K
; o: I$ Y1 o6 g# MEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
- a! j1 U8 G; l3 j5 T/ K4 N$ r
5 \! q& w  h  `/ H6 G: T& kFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
: _8 T: I6 B7 l* H: X0 k. h5 Q9 b5 F
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
