Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
  v1 L6 M2 @( H1 x) E& h2 ~  k: n9 @, r0 m
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 6 s5 E4 E# F. z. {* B: ]
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

2 y. ^% y" W- v! Z! a: \, c; r2) 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.
3 t6 j/ y8 ~) ~8 D- Y5 }5 q+ E  x( `/ |; B4 p* }
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.
! j2 h( R) p  T+ L' P" h. k" R6 U9 E6 @, X+ V
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

: E1 N( Y3 c3 n8 z5 x  p1 W5 dEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.3 I& c9 t! t7 ^# W  X/ j# a

* z% t7 A! x8 z) Y. b' e, X, |0 k: K) G
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.: A( P- y. T: E8 A& u" S* k
