Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, # I2 [% H; R7 c, w% {: U5 M; k
2 L7 }! e+ f4 h3 l% m; l
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

- T4 G5 ^- {4 G3 x7 d" B2) 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 F' ]4 m0 T' K& D- c9 s0 \  u8 C  J; t7 N. X1 v8 G5 K5 N9 U
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. 3 i! p6 \/ t+ [" B# U
; ~# @. T8 K$ G. l9 a" T
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 9 a; L: U* ]- F8 x; S, m# t8 n$ u

4 y3 U! N" K% z0 R& `( e. t4 r- _/ h- OEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.  B1 n1 q6 B" E4 F  b5 b( f

: m/ U* }2 h1 V6 f4 a# J/ `; v& `For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. " L* |" A! i' J7 p& l
& t# p( O; R3 u
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
