Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 0 n; A% F' k' w) L, d
7 e" e" I4 Q7 n
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 2 s' I5 H+ X" \' ~/ e1 P" b5 z
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
! r& A2 E( W5 T& j
* A( y% ]4 p! b4 s. {$ O/ ]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.2 w6 z: T) @. O# M9 _# e( B1 Q4 P

& q, g/ Z# c, Z8 s5 F: d7 lMany 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.
! Q. V; U% h" \5 n2 I
& g) L1 E# f) _3 H. mA balance diet, and exercise regularly
1 d2 y& V! `1 m8 Z; ~: W3 a* m# m1 ?4 ~) o; I1 x
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.5 r$ w) K1 ]  U( n, B

1 L! A0 N/ }+ X+ NFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. * V5 n8 l, R! E; X
# m  O$ _$ u! c+ d
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
