Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
) C3 R* w" w8 Z" h/ g& r$ t$ C- e7 a$ [) Y' q. I
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! . n# p: H0 U& |1 A: J
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
4 _/ u& a+ }0 J3 a- P8 t
0 Z1 N8 D+ v8 ^% s7 p2) 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.9 P9 q6 P9 O5 n9 z, c

1 \* A8 _: y8 A% 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. 6 I; b% b6 r& h$ \6 a- D8 y! ~! b

# O. ]- W0 u  E) ZA balance diet, and exercise regularly
# }% w0 @: c+ t0 m* W- E0 ~, Q7 @9 T5 r- \
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
# M" {9 M  U1 O# e3 _7 Q/ j- X& F" f; p& W0 e% W  B
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
7 o1 D+ z8 Z, P0 M# U5 W
