& q7 r3 h& f( ^5 p. V4 h
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 4 \0 h* c+ y7 E, d

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.
9 f9 [7 o4 ~+ k, @) q0 y4 n+ Q2 _% f, w
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.
. I9 t/ L0 B: x/ `

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