Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
8 R/ _9 L2 O) R* z  ?! S4 p% L! g4 H0 o6 h: V1 p
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 3 v( i- t1 P! r) c6 B/ d
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. % N9 M/ o: \# X- v

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.
( N+ `3 N# J2 |; a# \" g8 B
" i: b7 _" O" g" E# V6 RMany 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 u9 M6 f: k" V3 C6 p4 M

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 2 ]. Q' W' m9 R# t% A5 H
