* P" s# \! |; A
( I; M" R/ Q8 o+ mBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ; S! c; r  h, u  {- i7 V+ L
# q! W9 d1 i/ t3 v% ^
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! $ m% {5 {6 t9 ]) K( v& y" G
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 8 o6 H8 \) o3 v; ?/ g7 E; k
5 P' I5 f( f5 B4 @- o* ?; |5 h# T
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.
( h; e5 A. m' ]) Y! S! T; H/ x( I6 k
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.   s9 E) a! ]# w% X
1 ?( f9 c# u3 v& Q% ~
A balance diet, and exercise regularly " M0 ]4 g" E( q* p6 [8 T! a$ U9 t% Q
& I8 m) V& _! s3 Q& v/ M) J6 J% F
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.! y  C8 P! m, D: r; I5 Y

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

% G! S' o& k' n9 _8 P3 bTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
