Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
7 i- m6 M  C" K+ O0 z: M- a' H* c8 H3 ]
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
5 {- i0 W7 H& z. r( v+ q. }! SHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. + f# X; @+ t6 y7 N

  s9 r7 J2 e% E% t1 F) w, j1 c% ?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.  E* Y; }; Q  H

% _1 L) w9 \- ?# ]/ p! 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. 8 D7 A9 j+ [" v1 [) n; S- J1 J
' O1 g3 o  C: J& H# P7 ^
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 8 K2 ?2 o" N: _5 G/ L4 f
8 c0 F5 d  _# Y3 f4 l/ [
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.$ y  y( O1 o5 j

5 ^. D! A# Y& A4 l, u( z. ZFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. $ C& _9 a4 B% ~* @7 V

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