% Y5 F  F1 S. s/ \3 D6 G! \# w" e  }4 ~
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ) a! _% K" H, 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.3 V3 Y2 \0 ?4 ^. G4 A( r

/ R: w  {  h0 F' c$ aMany 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.
  V% T  Y! U% ]) S5 O3 C2 H2 o
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.: g, X+ r% {' U9 ~9 N5 X$ g

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.   ]5 R- x2 u; g/ L) ~6 ?; I

/ i/ R* d8 m# Q: ?Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
