1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.
3 }; E& h$ C* L
) B, i3 \! u9 z' s$ t$ Y, gMany 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.
1 `9 L8 b2 E: |0 H* A' {7 _- u( r3 A) z" z' U% a6 Y* E
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 8 C% q+ t+ q1 D6 F: e$ u) a* d
7 u0 d4 c" _: @& S" z2 U- p/ m
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
9 r9 N8 ~% B  a9 G9 ~1 r, s

7 D  ~  m1 e  F( W9 P, q7 j  ^7 m& S
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
