Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 0 X3 H, j! N* z1 D" X9 z
; z7 G& }+ x+ f% a3 K
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.  s2 Y% ]# d  N- Y
. i8 x9 R& o: b7 W( h5 f5 A2 d
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.
% U/ v; G, i! [/ t3 i. Y5 ~( i% U1 E  ]
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
' ^! ^7 J4 e3 B' S+ @$ T6 I# E- b* s( K/ K) E2 d
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
7 ~; t! L1 \; o; h) R4 T: v$ Z; J0 h
! B( W& T" w. n9 \" f0 vFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 4 H* D" o+ }* }$ `

1 t  l. q& e$ x" v$ ~Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
