1) 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.
' ~& S- l4 c  M6 g0 E" v$ i  C1 n3 I5 [* ]+ @2 S0 Z
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.
/ V  J; p$ q( a$ R/ e9 T4 E  m) U# R4 {
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

% x2 f8 Y0 h7 m3 GFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. - s5 v1 {8 o. `; N

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
