Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 2 i' K- u2 p8 Z- O

' U4 e3 b5 F1 C/ @# d! H1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! : B% p$ M  v9 v" ]$ n1 A9 M
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
) }3 C" w5 B8 ?# \. A2 N: J6 x) v: R) n- k
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. 0 ?8 \, w# X6 K& H

% m. f0 [5 c+ M( f  ]A balance diet, and exercise regularly
% g( M4 U5 q. M, n7 W
/ u. ^% f6 g: f& w( zEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
: r7 C% g5 i- f9 R+ j& E2 E6 l) n' j9 x/ Q
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
/ i1 F  y% y* W1 {7 j: C) h( }& O
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.  ]1 l- T) v, ]
