" s; P" b4 \+ ]! R9 nBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
1 ]. w0 C7 S* N7 e4 l, k) F; k9 F0 R# h
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
, L) i7 C7 q0 {High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ! r* \/ K- d- P% v$ e

8 Q( w% k( F3 B. f0 h" _. ^) s2) 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.4 W; i, e% Y+ X
( ]8 |2 X+ I! m7 z% l  W  {8 |. 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.

, K% t8 [+ k: u( v' Z& e3 `A balance diet, and exercise regularly " Y: b6 z( R( [' [
) M* f( a+ V* n, W9 S- x
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.0 r7 F! Y: W/ d/ j

# [. E+ I2 Z1 W9 ]For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
' X) v, Y- g9 u9 A+ ~1 k2 B* i$ m9 C9 Z
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
