Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
4 V5 ^. x2 q; d. R" x5 _2 Q  b6 f2 d. P9 ?5 x9 H0 O
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 4 `: K$ A1 L3 o5 {* Y2 R. w
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; C+ M2 s$ p  B9 x1 }
' O4 x0 Z  j6 S. @: h
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.
! L* L. ?6 g+ n- U* K- P% O2 C
( Q7 I& Q5 ?  U- g# k' J  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. 6 f4 B& u5 s3 |- I9 \$ `

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
