: I! n: Q) B* j8 S  L3 f
- x/ ?4 G- E* ?. nBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 g$ ]3 e1 X/ v* Y+ t: z$ N9 K5 ]6 `

3 D1 i; p' Q* W1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 9 d& e6 ^$ t/ K1 E/ R) S- [0 z
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
' F9 n8 b0 k9 p9 ?5 \
: Y0 P* G& ~0 \& E' v% C2) 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  i0 T1 C$ w+ P; ^; W

' }& F( ]" c& F% }' TMany 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. : h# S0 x* `+ d  K1 T  r

7 v( C- H+ Z/ ?0 I# tA balance diet, and exercise regularly
' u9 @4 ]# ?. x: T" x  F) @1 ~: Y8 h6 f# B# e# D& Q; A/ p
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.0 T2 p" O0 m0 a

  J$ y" v) S! g7 p) HFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 8 I4 U0 e+ [/ O9 M  c
- g" G, |0 g% M& J( V# U
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.- {  T, L, ^1 z( z' T( w
