Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
3 h3 n9 d, R2 F9 M1 R& D& ], \# F' ^
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
. W% d% ?3 _- u2 U+ X: S3 M" O  O; PHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

0 ?4 @8 [, [2 r) C3 {3 w* G2) 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.+ Y( Z3 n% ~; a. k. B

! P& z! N4 [5 @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.
. S% ^) ~. K0 v# x7 q0 d; ~4 E& i8 ^' i) a8 u' N% b# J: O
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
1 T: g+ {7 d7 V  }. ?6 [* ]7 g
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you., h/ j7 P8 O4 W) D* J; Q5 g( ]
0 Z; n5 Q! y+ K" _; h6 `
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. . Q$ J& l0 m" h$ @" J) _: f
/ H: u2 t: J: h+ s: k
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
