1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! # p$ {: ~9 m0 J! ?8 H) J; m; b8 K& m

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.
+ S$ E3 ?6 C( F) G9 R/ a: D; p$ f6 N) W6 L9 l4 O# t9 f  Q
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.
