Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 5 X9 P6 f. o2 W% Z# o# a
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 7 }$ M5 _! \4 k- t, W

" O4 D" N- Q$ R" r/ P2) 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 {% Y! c1 z8 t2 u
; O% R/ B4 L" Y  w6 X, Y& y6 P+ H0 ?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. ( I9 M0 U0 [$ _9 r" \' T* E
) v, s3 c5 x! F
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
- i6 j# ~$ g  D& Z
- q- Z: X+ L0 Z. K6 a1 m$ AEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
# h8 U6 }3 m4 I+ Y3 M
