7 D1 A, S% O! P2 O4 RBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 4 e" z. T6 q1 I. l# P

* p. H5 Z* E1 K0 u! k1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
8 Y1 l( E4 Z1 g; eHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; q& G1 H, g+ D

! I2 O" x2 ^7 p  z8 a2) 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 L* B5 x; k( |/ o5 `6 ^0 A. t  v

# \& i6 p0 @: d: R" L2 ZMany 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 T* B' u/ o1 w% o$ j5 B6 t

! \* i$ @9 W; E% EA balance diet, and exercise regularly 3 p6 d7 B. g* _4 y! ]

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. . p6 v8 n0 E, o, E7 d1 c) d
