Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ; u+ O3 E$ P$ H, u
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

. ]7 o, n, `9 V; s5 R2) 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.8 Q/ H4 x/ N0 S2 A- i2 R/ }& j

% b3 G; I8 I& D  |) q! d- ?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. ' h  q0 R  q. b, g. G

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 2 U& @2 P# \9 U
