Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
! m, R" X$ Q6 [: y$ B: ?' F+ }( Q7 L7 J1 d, D
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
* m1 m/ P$ p5 M1 v% {2 `% @9 [High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
6 `( h+ Q/ ^) e- R# K8 i" L$ F# Y
: |9 ^- n6 w7 D( T/ n/ L7 e2) 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.! a4 ?' V! V* j9 ]
$ m# r" O/ k5 Y* C& p
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.
4 q4 j2 M2 [0 d+ F$ E: w! y1 n, P  d
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
