" W! E" Q" [9 D% }
# G0 I( C( S7 R0 E1 E* EBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 7 @: u9 `9 y. y  x9 E( R
) l. i9 ]4 B: c9 r$ P( W
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
2 S; S0 Y3 F9 n4 RHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. * `+ G1 D: n/ w

  @' B! e9 k- Y; F0 c2) 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.
- I1 \4 r2 q/ M) L$ v1 f3 r! b7 c0 x6 G
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. 0 V1 G& z' X6 y" e& V! {* S" a  \

A balance diet, and exercise regularly / O% j/ n/ @  M9 w
