8 C/ o: T( q& I% K0 r3 m" a) q4 F
& P, s: B: W/ P7 Q/ SBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 A4 _0 I" B/ I" t
7 y$ g9 Y% i  {( ]9 D. [5 E5 p
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! . X2 N1 `3 n- F8 `. V
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
( Q: B0 c& D0 Q9 C5 y
, h5 E4 D1 K( z9 T2 _( z  n& {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.! \6 m% f- N. k% v) L

/ h( U% [% N- |: S1 v5 V6 XMany 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. / y, d/ |6 e# P8 `4 m0 l% X
$ e: n$ O) Q* y
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

- A6 e& c2 a7 y, s5 @& T; U& Y  D2 d3 S/ e$ \# W
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
9 i: x/ {  y$ I* B0 V" [: G
