High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

, X6 N. {( j( O+ y- S6 W2) 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.: b3 X8 ?4 u% [. P8 G: a
$ {9 L' v3 \; {
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. + r' Z# C7 v/ A) \* p2 q9 ^

4 Z- v1 o( P  Z( k! w! P( f% [, V! R* KA balance diet, and exercise regularly
- B* R" v1 U$ k2 Y0 i- m
( f% f5 e& G: ^/ i2 REven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.6 P+ i: n! h/ K8 b

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ( a7 s0 V5 z0 q2 }) k

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
