Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 r# O1 \. ?$ s

# e- I' b( t4 n0 k1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

$ `: M0 J, a, C2 [! s, }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.
) p# M% e4 g! k/ u( G; ?2 T9 S' p3 V
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. / m6 H7 S' ~6 s' a* a

  P( r# z. ^! wA balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.4 b- D/ P% N) h7 h

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.( g5 @" s2 C" {/ l* @4 h
