Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, - A3 Y" J, w$ `" p
+ S; w4 a2 L1 Z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ; _+ s$ k2 U& C" O, y
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. " f; R9 W9 e3 e3 S8 Q
  f; b! v! A* @1 Z' e
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.8 C5 g/ J; M. [9 Y
8 I4 |/ E6 r, x7 B5 o8 H
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.
8 B5 e- P8 [- P8 `" N  M* }$ q! k" }' k6 v
A balance diet, and exercise regularly , l( n# N$ X* N- o3 F

3 u% I5 w5 L) a. }) U# d. o' h/ e  l4 DEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.6 ~/ y7 l8 ?. V

1 C. h8 |% p; r2 h$ eFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 7 ~8 j. T  f2 s! F

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.) J$ w  Y: W  k2 [7 W+ O
