4 q* X+ t( a6 Z! F/ tBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
# g" W1 O. K& a1 d; L; s4 n) u% X' ^: x
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 2 B3 M8 _7 [, k
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
4 Z) [5 o6 R; v/ V) s4 r* r" v  R6 x# E* r9 ~5 _  h( Q7 @/ p
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.$ v* Y- I2 d3 K2 ^) [4 m0 i( i
  N  s6 D: m( I3 F& k
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.
  n# k* I+ p. i* |& l& T0 W+ t
* z, J; {  l: L$ D" UA balance diet, and exercise regularly 2 M. `7 m% |' {8 ]

: @1 i% e+ V. ?Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
% j0 }) A# J& ^9 D5 F  e, {" z7 B. K' ]
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
8 @: l" X% S; z4 x- D4 l( u
: k9 B" V; w& u. YTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
