6 Y9 c" _, `. zBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ( e/ a* T5 o2 j
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
& M" w3 ]/ [: v
9 ]4 d( K& G! q/ K( v2) 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.8 T2 O2 Q5 t, [- V
" w1 D$ y. J1 z3 b
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.

A balance diet, and exercise regularly
