/ o6 R3 t( l# Q
) l8 c! {0 d" eBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

+ y# S% v% q& [1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
  a1 K; F, c- u+ K  f( PHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
' c) @- c% p$ _; Z
9 I3 J' s) @9 ~1 E  ]" 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.3 O, x0 g* N) `& h+ i6 t
7 n2 L; m$ d* M5 v5 a
Many 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.
$ t. B: z1 b, h# v/ G8 D$ a
/ [  l. \8 _$ `) YA balance diet, and exercise regularly 3 h/ p0 Q5 H6 M. @3 l
+ g1 Z2 q2 W# P9 \. P. A# s1 p
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
8 D% y7 o; _4 E) }! C
/ A& [$ \8 h* b0 ^, [$ p% g" W$ jFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 4 r3 }1 n* ~# g( u, j: F. b: Y  R
( R7 O1 P1 ^# P5 p( l, t3 M
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.7 R& s0 ^7 p5 N  A2 X
