: }. w& f0 M! o' v" v' }! w- ABased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! " q6 j& F) S! g  I4 B
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. " J+ e# w1 K, t, Y  k+ w

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.% M2 Z5 |# R6 p& w! C

$ ]: Q( E* X0 x/ ]8 s. t  wMany 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.
) E8 b$ ?% a0 S! J7 J) ~
7 q4 V  x) k5 v5 TA balance diet, and exercise regularly
1 s- A, D. Z9 R$ r" j9 Y% p" f) D" N9 @2 ]% \, C; m! o1 g
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
: G5 _1 L5 l8 R; v% Y0 u6 |: @5 [: X0 k  D% M, V1 S
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. $ {: n& L5 \" p* M* _# b( r
; B' r) ?3 _3 o2 L* s% U
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.2 D  U& W; m1 `. I9 U' `
