Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
0 `4 c1 b( R$ |% P4 Y3 |4 S9 G9 F: n: v) [" g
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ( {8 m+ @* O$ h8 @7 i  P  q
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.& y* Y: R# l2 c) I) Z

( v: f- E4 ^: w# WMany 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.
9 o9 Z3 p4 W4 a/ W7 X8 @3 d$ u% O# P+ P8 ^7 ]
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ' s+ f. D' ?4 k1 G0 U6 W. h$ V  \& _& b# r
0 H1 w; r4 `, b; L
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.! O4 _- [# x8 I: k3 o. Y' c+ }

$ l! O$ H# }# r  o& X* H8 WFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ) q% I( M: P1 a9 B
7 K5 f9 R( i2 l9 J2 w" m2 F
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.+ @% l+ A5 a2 O: ]1 f1 u4 S6 O4 E
