1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 5 \3 L" @# V. ?
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
- W5 o" ?8 Z: @( \: s# R" l8 G! f; h' y: L9 |
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.
# @! J% Q. ^1 s% I% }; p
6 o3 v( W0 [! r/ VMany 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.
' N. p. Y5 s8 N* J: W) f5 L$ b) R( i! q$ C6 N1 p3 b
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 5 r! I, Q. J5 k8 }/ F2 ]5 O8 s1 h
