Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 7 Q8 W& p; ^' W# j' N; r6 y

4 H( r* O- Y; Q& [$ f9 \! w2 E* L1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ' V4 U6 {6 c6 P# W5 U) L

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.7 a- ~; F' B( M2 R

6 d+ b, @/ K$ a- f# kMany 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.
' g) \. F! R- l$ T4 ]9 \) @; c* J6 h7 q& @
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 1 f: O4 j* [: j- p

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
