1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ! [; ]& f( c. j: W+ D+ L: R7 ^
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.) W, {6 c5 l) T) W) A
( ~6 P8 k4 W3 `+ Z9 l3 E& m, C$ A
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 c. ~8 q3 v9 p" O5 A
" ~. V) h5 q" Z
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.: Q' m5 y; m7 ]
7 S, F1 ]: d5 c" i( m  E4 G; c+ J& s
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
/ t8 }  a' O; u8 \! V" z: f& c/ ]
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
