$ f' n! w0 H+ Y- hBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, # ^0 J3 Q. h9 d8 a& K

" J# m4 Q7 k$ D! t8 F# ^! n$ K1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! % V& y& U. B* |; N- g
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

& P2 \9 m/ ~& X6 s# E2) 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.- L" c; G3 j6 U. |6 B

) \+ t8 `! d7 cMany 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+ J: i$ `. N; ^: ]2 ^! y2 V6 N, M: @2 W8 A
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 6 z. [5 q4 B# @: c; _8 X
! y7 b( P- r2 U  x
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.; W& J9 @2 ?5 ?; ]% g- C

$ r5 `' o6 n" @1 H& F8 ^& AFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 6 U2 @1 j" L( r+ r
5 u5 I2 D' l/ X: f2 n
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.! x5 d- A. h8 D3 r
