Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . b/ C" B) p4 ~! N. J, m

3 U4 g4 y# I1 @  ?/ |% N1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

. n1 \4 Y) G1 F" }$ j+ O' L2) 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.! f4 W7 L( n3 {; b6 y9 [+ O) k# i

  u3 [: [/ W- c: K/ {9 sMany 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.
2 y$ @$ M4 u+ ^* A# v/ H1 a6 z* u
6 V- v- f6 ~; x7 x( [9 aA balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.  d+ @" h& Y8 J: C

  ?) n- |, n/ F! gFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
