Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,   A3 \: m: K0 x& `9 K
0 [! {/ b! K" T% ?! |. K! K0 p2 t
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
' R  ~8 Y' F) |" R$ l' VHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

# t' q4 D6 `% u# w( \# M1 E2) 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.* n; y, ]4 P& ]8 T6 x" ^" q8 s

3 [- r( G6 ^" N$ L. o$ UMany 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.
5 H! p, l( j2 @7 E/ w- [
& y& X8 g3 \; C1 zA balance diet, and exercise regularly ) ^9 o- H# O4 f* S8 U1 A) T

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.. O3 h, d* B; e7 R
" h: H6 C, L  y& b
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
, t, t- [1 m- p9 H9 H8 D
  M' R& C6 u1 x1 a3 Z% ?Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
