Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
# l! S' G% X, W# F0 ?# ^' P& J9 m) G$ R7 ~
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! + L! \; \" d4 @) v7 D  f
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

; D: F, M* H- {. C, y2 b2) 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.
  v+ v( D! v" F- y/ l9 q; S! U6 g7 p- D1 s4 I$ m
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. # i7 _6 x$ C; \$ B. _

  v7 ~$ D2 W8 @- E& ^A balance diet, and exercise regularly 7 K# t2 J' o! T. w1 L* H

2 s, I, }. t4 o! J& N1 WEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.2 I9 e$ y# G+ s5 j- N1 t$ |: {) U

! D6 M* g& V4 _+ V; S! Q4 n! G5 LFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 0 W! P& D% m2 F% ^8 y$ y

3 r' J2 P0 g$ uTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
