Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ! p6 A; I5 r  r; m) M5 ~

2 }/ J, v- l, `! W" g+ V; _1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! + t4 D" o, Z$ _" [9 b* R' H
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. * r3 }" _9 J, U$ [% q( |

; M  z% H( P% [& ^9 j+ Y2) 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.+ I! B1 P! b; S3 `+ x% ]+ C9 f

$ _, K5 e$ q* 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. 0 p+ ?, Z; _( d; N6 e% ~

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 8 X+ l  r: h- B% h  [& s

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
  ]" H8 g/ e: c0 j, H" F/ E" y9 E) t- C4 B3 A! G. W
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ' C! A& A# z8 H# q- y: L; |

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