0 P. U8 z5 V) P6 P& Q
/ h& W! P7 V8 I  l" D  _Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
% g& ~5 z5 k! S3 T/ D& k& G( s, w7 g4 `# E
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 2 j; Q6 @  [. Q8 \4 S/ r
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; z. a4 [- C4 Z

: w  L! c9 m2 A, f& v( Q2) 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.
8 s( l8 b5 u4 n" E
% W2 o! |: H; M' ?; {( W; fMany 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. / S7 `  m8 Q+ o( u/ K
' X4 P9 Z: d" w& W
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
" Z) h+ N$ |: P8 l3 j+ m/ X# t# f( G0 i& h" c' J6 K1 ]
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

* z6 ~! S$ S/ @; qFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ) g$ V6 G& q6 b& f7 o  e. q$ r

% R: a8 [' R* j1 jTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health., L+ Q" B) [  w7 p$ Y+ l, c# T7 l
