- Q: x1 G$ M9 s& \% s1 U
" }0 j7 `6 V) v# fBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, * Q/ ^$ t* K0 A0 A( ?

4 ]: A4 s2 k- n1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
3 e' E5 f- m  ~: q+ h5 BHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 7 q* z4 r6 }2 K1 n; @% n: B

3 \: A0 w: ]: j5 o2) 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.
) \  L' Q  f6 W- \# m3 X0 H
& F! h8 u- h) p( vMany 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. ( C' I4 X3 ]% l) m6 B5 v
: m, `6 R, w1 a8 |
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
4 p1 a) W6 r5 T  O+ J+ h; ~
4 h9 R; r/ U. H0 WEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.( r/ m3 s: c9 {# D4 m7 z7 Z3 H

: i8 y3 ?4 Q+ |; ]/ ^1 S" fFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

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