$ O. X4 B% p: J/ r9 C2 _( Q  q$ }9 t+ `! K: i( u9 ^% ?
Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ! I" e( u0 r7 O
, s" ?9 k7 T) F
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
  {, V5 n2 n4 @! N/ cHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. , r" G5 k  X# Y* k: d- H2 N

; C8 m0 s2 y* C9 Z+ j5 q" a5 Q2) 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.& u/ L1 [% I: r) w' y

6 a  V( c4 ^5 p# r8 D% EMany 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.
$ w) R! E  c0 J3 D% G& E; m! Q2 E
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
! x$ J2 N- H- w; R" ?& f+ ~
5 l) n# P& t5 ~6 MEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
: Y( C+ \2 s' D
$ V2 N/ G5 v# FFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. / z  N# m" M- t. d& G
+ R* n' |9 R2 C0 S( u
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.! t6 x/ k- u. D5 W  a2 @
