Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
7 |* I0 ^# V6 Z( Z5 p# ]  _, a8 t/ d1 ~4 C' L
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.
7 V/ ^) x5 H8 `" k2 i4 |7 ]& l$ d5 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. 5 |, w' c9 k- J& l9 y
  h# T& Q8 R0 i/ c& J$ m9 L% s  x
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
