High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

/ \' @2 {" Q! B( [  B2) 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.& A8 I& X2 o2 q4 ]+ {. |: D" X' J

+ k( \" Q4 ~- c. z5 AMany 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.

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