Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . Y$ e+ \) e9 p4 e
9 ^2 q' {8 J- ~" u( Y! Q
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! / u0 R, R, q! P
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.% q# z# s$ y5 X4 ^
! P9 |  \+ [: _
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.
2 B- ]* h0 f/ S2 K. o" \+ {8 M8 g0 k/ i5 q8 w
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
! m$ ?& m* S2 B  o1 a$ E2 s& E: m+ l! k& P7 _* b; m
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
. h4 E& f  Q2 ^4 B
$ V& M/ k0 a% h3 v# V' hFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
6 k) F, f# i7 ]9 v! l4 E
4 d* z8 x( N& \# yTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
