High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

0 e6 y: s( V: a: h* i. {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.% u7 S6 @* i% }
" o1 _/ W+ v0 Y4 p, F8 Y5 W2 M5 f
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 F* O8 L! a% k

& |" K) [5 m# uA balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.( s: u; [8 P6 U: F) h% q0 y0 _* ~
