( G0 g/ h' X4 ^Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 1 Z# G  N$ I& Q9 h
& v6 P  z4 U! `! c0 H6 N7 x
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.
7 v& z: B# U! E' T& Q! u% `' J  }" Y% M+ Z6 }/ X& p8 W
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.
. f! |, P! n9 t% Y3 _$ b# s! r1 `. _* L' ^: N7 ^& a  z- a$ u
A balance diet, and exercise regularly , s% Y. J& L% ?( e) k* W

$ U0 m/ ]3 {0 L5 o" G, V+ l5 I8 tEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
