  S0 d1 }4 v$ NBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 P. c; h3 }9 K' m: x- P/ |& G) B  q/ s
  I5 b8 @5 y! S+ f+ w4 _, d
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.% G! J4 V: N0 b
1 B" d' T+ ^: d9 c, @- p
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.
) S7 ~# t1 s% n2 y
( r0 i% [, G& G5 u5 M! HA balance diet, and exercise regularly

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