1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ( D: ^  @# g' f
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

9 W7 a( z* B, y) R+ v" T) s2) 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.
, J4 n3 g6 @3 `) A: S
9 m2 a) y+ l( J% t  \6 G* I( wMany 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.

. Y$ F  ~. f# _" u& K$ [A balance diet, and exercise regularly * n; {. R. K$ _8 |: O

* W+ @- W9 r- j8 Z! O, S. D! NEven 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.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
