/ u# L7 e8 g3 p9 b' r" UBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ( ]  O! p) E0 S& k! W7 E$ }

& J. p; E$ `7 K# K" K, h1) 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.. `9 @; T" D5 [2 L

: H! u& p4 m5 P( D# ^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.
5 Y& ?9 D0 n& a/ K% I2 e' @; K" o$ ]9 V: l
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
7 Q6 d! m: }& S" r) e( G( Y" l0 F# S, s! f% k% m- ^
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.( M3 x# ~: J. C1 F9 g# a

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.% A- ?) N+ \" M4 {
