& q% R1 i. r# V1 O3 oBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
- p* p' M0 m( G5 G# Q. X2 K) q1 {
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
" \9 p& Z/ H7 b- pHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. * k* Y: s4 n9 v, I0 W9 Z
' O6 o+ [5 @; s4 k! v1 J( B! B  Y
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.
- z4 p5 C) I) Z9 u& _" r' e5 I8 Y  |( c
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.
8 D% z9 Q( w# S& N
- V$ c' V+ Z; J0 rA balance diet, and exercise regularly
2 `. N& ]0 e  {( d* p
/ V3 N: Q. `& _( d; IEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
; F& Y; s! H. P7 |$ J/ w% F" I7 j+ H  ~6 [
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ! O9 n/ R/ p! x' U

! @# Y) C3 k( }/ r7 [Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
