Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 9 {$ E& ]; i1 ?! g* t
3 c+ o4 U9 M; S
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
; G* |5 X* L3 m4 cHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. / C$ p  e3 G5 b* J* `! o
$ l0 H0 M/ E. Q! G$ V  ]* G0 R! 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.# h" k9 h. V9 F2 f1 \: c' D
9 ]  G  N/ d8 T, l0 G) d$ Q
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.
4 `9 _. ~* h% M- j. ?. B' O9 B, M6 Z' x" A2 r
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

8 ]) Y+ a6 F: GFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
