Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

  @: i. v9 q' _' e; n' g& |1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.5 p" n( O; S+ ^

  o0 e- X, ~0 X4 ?7 T% sMany 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. 7 K5 v# H5 }% B
. b& P  A: f, G& b' ?1 {
A balance diet, and exercise regularly " K  ?# l( |# ]) K2 e, j, z

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
. G  U' K" g6 S+ _. R# g8 y7 ~8 L; C. V% N' P$ v5 v0 s2 k
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
6 K& L/ D' a9 D& c9 j7 [. l+ D, b" d* K& C6 p
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.* I, F5 s: F& U/ Y
