/ W8 Z3 b" Q5 `8 _2 e1 m9 _# ]Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, - {9 ]9 }. A3 L* N
5 W6 ^8 R, L! t6 L- H( ^
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 2 Y* g# X; x; r! L3 _* L
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
7 M, E1 ?' X0 l6 x8 j$ s
7 T$ t# Q  ~$ n' \9 B* i2 e2) 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./ L: g; ]* y5 m; e

% [8 A: m, h) B9 NMany 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. ) P8 V0 ^6 V) A& {8 r' J
, `" y! o% l0 T0 g6 K
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 1 {' N1 y( ]* F/ X" m

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.% q0 G- C# B* a

  ]  B- r& b5 w( E% p0 I2 f1 `7 rFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
