( K. ^" z& ?+ R) gBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 4 x8 J; G# g) f

( X* u+ x. G" n! \3 E, X* }1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! / d( w$ L$ ?  ]+ v+ O! R! c5 }: I1 O9 l
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. # @, u2 l5 c" a! |& s

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.+ K! w; I. m/ p) ?8 {! r

& P  ?7 Y: b( G. Q. H: C; r3 L4 J- zMany 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.
. _( Z! A# N7 v0 P+ x. A
. r6 \. b* r: |* g  MA balance diet, and exercise regularly
+ o8 V4 t0 j& X5 D% ~, y: O+ A$ B- K! O5 F
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.. Z& P7 X+ P7 G' r
( f8 i: g! l4 z7 }! K
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. # t: J8 `2 T$ |# W8 _: S+ }

; h" P# U) [! g- T# T5 P' E# e2 wTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.; D+ w; N# [0 L# z3 Z
