; X0 l' h* f" ABased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ @, U# T4 V* U7 g5 j
" c0 }) t2 v) R1 Z# c( q  W2 f
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! % i9 V! T2 q1 u
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
/ q  h7 U. h' i6 F4 n
* T1 Z; A1 b. Z( c2) 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.
* _2 ?  R5 k% I! `9 J" R# m! `) J3 Z6 t. t/ A- k
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. ! x9 a& d; j5 S- F# l  U' J  f! P

, A- P4 i& |) {6 @) y% z8 j/ \7 @1 f- hA balance diet, and exercise regularly
) d# _) p' G" B& c% |6 |) o: Q5 _/ R& n  N
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.- C' w1 {$ W0 K6 L
% M( {. }0 H: p* I; M
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
3 p. v; J0 Q5 S% P) m5 G) f( ]7 I* {% |; l& Y3 F! \
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
