. a9 P; S. }- L3 t6 hBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ; I/ z& }% y2 o

# l4 @' e' H; K+ n4 H1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.% M' L( K4 B) Y8 S' k+ K
! }9 I: f- f+ w- [2 j' J
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.
0 |8 J* s, \6 F: Z' c5 O1 R0 J3 H" O# e3 E8 c0 h
A balance diet, and exercise regularly # Y8 H% I0 M5 w$ W' Y% d% Z

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
