Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, * n2 v0 i/ a1 K% l0 J

7 ]% f1 J) P- h1 U) ?9 P1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
( T6 j0 E  q0 ]8 ]6 ^High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
) Q- P/ [  x( L; F
: @. X9 J- }0 E9 b2) 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 f; |) j# D* m' C% p
: E7 u" |/ E3 c- ^- O( J  [. cMany 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.
6 p3 W5 N0 W2 @# ~0 n1 i+ D+ Y
A balance diet, and exercise regularly   a$ \5 t+ Z1 G! [/ X

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
* o7 n. k" f& B$ o3 F, U) Z3 i& b( p5 C
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

$ o8 ]: K. F, XTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
