Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
' z) j+ J  A) n( ^: K. Z; D  {) O, ^
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
- c: A$ E" ]" v/ jHigh-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.
% R* b  _  C. U! w" z
- x( C3 [! ~2 u0 z; A+ L% W# @$ {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 Q2 J$ L* u) Y0 ]" X5 ]- I

( Y" i) g; |, V# c0 A7 zA balance diet, and exercise regularly

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.+ ]. ]( Z+ c$ v# C% C0 l  u
