2 C/ R- L. _/ ^% Q+ @Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 2 g8 h3 q( ~. Z& _

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. " C. e4 o# n+ c
( Q+ R$ \4 z5 O0 h( Y
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./ F( `& G! O( ~; D9 }( @; B' A7 r
2 u7 x9 }, _& [
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. : ~: T! }& }# ~% N& h
9 V" Q& o- E2 H- b9 c4 b- ~
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

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

' U; A) ?, \4 q8 B, IFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % `! p( A- q1 O2 Q6 h0 O

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.+ g/ Y5 L* H: Y$ j/ t$ A8 q
