Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
4 O9 z5 R' d( d$ T% ]6 Z: B+ w' C3 V& Q' V0 l: z6 I
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
/ r  @" m8 y8 D+ P9 u- vHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ! W$ D5 e. E0 ~- s) D( _
2 p. R7 j0 I1 ^+ J+ g2 x& S; I3 k
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.0 p) L) ]7 b0 o+ B" @

" x# e$ U! f$ W. d( L3 M, y* Q: yMany 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. : I- K" i1 ~( Q# Y

8 T; k: o' t6 t6 QA balance diet, and exercise regularly 3 ?# ?6 f* T$ i1 ^. E, c5 k
* n' w. [7 f: f0 q7 G
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.2 S4 B0 ~; g3 @% b8 x: s
& a3 ?9 r, m. a4 S$ I1 _. g9 k: c
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. # c, N& M" w8 H. a+ E; X
) x/ H; c- e9 j' p
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.6 W% F' L) n: D: c( |8 _0 l
