Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / b4 g! n6 [- I- ^5 ]; g9 R

9 p6 o1 K, B2 E" ?0 i1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! $ q5 d9 O. u; L
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

+ E2 {5 s. n, i) z' q6 b3 ]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.# h/ n, W$ j3 p$ l. ]
6 ]; `6 T8 v3 d4 }% r0 [2 E
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 G1 w$ P! r' J( _$ p/ L9 n
5 x4 C. Z6 S; p/ `; U: R  }A balance diet, and exercise regularly - X) i4 o: S/ N4 s( v9 k
' H; T3 M# q' h, z; z
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
$ b" b& F7 _4 w  H3 U' P$ D& r5 W0 c" |5 c, ]- q: }3 K
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ( t2 g( e$ ]2 }% p. L: m1 d& ^1 C
$ j9 |9 [6 ]) s
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
