2 }5 x1 ^( ]8 s1 F7 z$ P: YBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . q2 H$ g; ~+ {% a4 _

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
( p; U# r& Q# D: w/ w
- \* f! V% ]% N4 f, g. r) K9 T2) 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.
# l7 M: D. @; r1 @# R: ~" h1 P# E. b, 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. 4 C" x* D# z; \# n# {1 r6 D1 f1 j

A 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.( {% u7 X- Y! s  }: K2 V; R9 b

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.' x9 [: G) j$ x
