Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

# t. ^+ z5 O. P
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., ?" B, ~8 z6 T: Q0 Y% ?

4 {! z! Y! M5 J1 x& v! `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. 0 f; W0 Z! d6 e; r# x( H

1 A. [: z: N, E* eA balance diet, and exercise regularly 5 O. @' f- z) I/ H, Z

  d- ]6 e: @# `. t; q* R) i# M# Y& vEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.. P3 `/ O' O0 ?; C" I

0 [7 x, _7 V  |2 @( W* }  JFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

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