( ]$ c' r; g4 s" j" h7 c; ]2 ?+ yBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
$ t& q" y) q- t% ?
& a& y, D: m! Z3 `' a6 A0 W1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! + A$ [8 k+ [, B8 @( T" e$ M
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
& m2 y9 W; P- f5 N) B5 s# s
1 }- z+ x9 X4 F2 M# x; M2) 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./ J3 x0 _5 q! C& U  y" q& ?

5 P6 Z  D: s5 z& u$ QMany 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. ' r+ G. s* b* A, m

- z1 X4 d: ?( z) L* l6 ]A balance diet, and exercise regularly
6 e& X* y  t! S( }# k5 p, w9 t! F' ]1 B$ U
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
7 |8 u2 t: k: g2 R
( b5 a0 ]0 ?3 C% n" ?) V) n, _& yFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
; }& Q. y" s  l% B, @% c1 D/ z( b8 T
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
