$ H2 ^! r7 S( d; a# J- YBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 4 P# s+ x8 E( p; ~

/ k5 f' f& E* @$ R1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ! r- m6 Y# x$ @; f+ X3 Z
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
. W' G( [2 a5 U
( X, x* _- u. R- |9 n, Q2) 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.5 G! i+ E5 V$ J4 q( e. c

; M* v- C( T4 zMany 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. # F0 u  @) t# F; G
! o! w2 Z/ e& U; ~1 `) c
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
. Y" {! X/ a% D' c0 W* P6 c7 K5 b/ ]4 D  i1 Q4 l! F
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.7 z3 Q4 F& b8 U* J, {" h
8 `! k4 o3 K& J3 h- s( p  p
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. - d; w5 x* {5 ~9 A7 B

/ n8 e( t# H/ t; d9 f. ?Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.1 B( O- k$ k1 s' k% _
