Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ) j+ Z* ~4 @( b9 a

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

; r- r* T7 _7 m% L" o. 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.
' f. a' a- _7 M1 B8 M" v- t' D2 ?$ m- v  [) o/ N
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. 7 f" S) e- d% I) C9 q4 q; h

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 6 a( t1 g$ K' J+ l7 I

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.5 U$ {( u1 C9 j" E) r0 k9 W
