0 a, F2 {# ~. n  a7 a/ ~Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
4 ?% V9 J4 F+ U4 a8 `5 p0 ^& Z% u: z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 5 Q5 G5 s8 x$ a

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./ Z6 D1 P1 w8 J2 a

; c# f# O7 W* y. O8 o3 Z' V! MMany 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.
, j' c- B# j) s
, ^- F; r2 w- Q( r! `7 w3 ^A balance diet, and exercise regularly 0 D4 ~- w, T2 ?% W, q1 K

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.# T% J! l: M) c/ a
/ G: b2 }3 m( t" L4 y" O
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. $ _, V; R! Y- r) L+ V) G
7 x0 _5 ]2 M0 T7 z/ k
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
