Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
$ w7 m; ~9 A; l3 K; Y$ \/ f9 r! o! t5 h( G8 {; J
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
2 L4 I- c+ D3 ~+ [7 U: f, w. B+ ZHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
$ c) e. A0 P7 S9 ~4 q4 g. H$ s, y9 [8 h, s  J
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.
9 {# ?( L2 Q3 b4 g4 g0 y# H
' r2 Y4 g9 r9 i% J4 GMany 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.
; n5 _% J1 ~+ ]% x8 u
) {5 t4 ?  c2 w2 N' @3 w: hA balance diet, and exercise regularly
! h1 s. r8 s% p* ?9 B: {2 r7 K: w* W% l
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
7 f( u( e9 h7 f- o0 u3 o8 c# d5 f' k2 `+ Q) o& h5 p0 }
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 8 C0 H- T- P( }! K, e* r1 r

4 h' z3 Z5 Q: B1 _, R5 T: Q' bTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
