Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
8 y+ t4 d4 ?! n) P6 j4 P) @1 e; N' p( c4 ^) J9 O
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
1 V3 W  ~! I! b6 ^$ m3 PHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( X/ n( ^& G" Y. |* K

1 {+ H0 G& F1 e2) 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.. L& B  g9 z6 s( h' \) N0 @9 y$ {

: ~0 w7 z& C1 H+ ^8 t: v3 aMany 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. & o+ h; T' Q4 _7 W+ C" Y

' L6 V1 x. t: D5 a1 `A balance diet, and exercise regularly
" u) i( V* z8 C5 R. R! G) V2 y6 {# J4 b3 ?+ O; e
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.1 q. c. w- @  _% e- |& E
6 ]! j3 ?$ O' f& |& v) q6 \
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
+ ?7 C- l% `( o) q; H3 O" ~. M% r
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
