Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, * |) J8 _8 V+ V' x+ L7 Q
1 n7 E5 W! P4 D  `, F
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
# E, \9 Y- o3 E$ A" LHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; ~& G* ?- I( o  x+ Z

+ ~+ V7 `! m2 k" [) ?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.5 P% ^6 v: M* P( a' G7 y0 Q
6 ?& A0 z3 z. x, P* }) c
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.
$ l2 ?: ^: R4 l# L

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