Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, # R" v6 L- N5 Z' v9 g, Q

% \8 L5 F) x2 H. y1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 0 o* O/ j! |% X1 T. h0 f
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. - z/ p; n/ @" O6 d& O8 ?

# b) z& S, }' x4 u! m2) 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.
+ |% w0 s: Z; _. V2 `9 ^$ H
; q5 X( O7 e$ x2 hMany 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. 6 ?& e& U, q$ H+ a, L/ E* `4 O! ^. _
. f0 f" u. F% O/ P
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
& G% t% m: C, i' X$ |8 n* t$ `9 I4 G! s. t
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
% A+ k0 L9 C! Q5 E0 n* d0 h+ @- d7 j7 `( w- X9 S* o# c
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
, J( H0 l4 X: u/ ]6 n
  {9 }4 O* |* I# FTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
