Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ( G% v' [/ N1 k" w2 P( F: P# U
- e% f" u; v4 s
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! $ {9 s) T: m+ e) l$ n
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 2 \) n3 f& K4 m, n; \/ ^4 \
+ Z9 S% _' ^1 \) Y* R. g3 K5 U
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.
5 P+ N3 @5 B3 K0 k. k2 c* p) M* k1 ~1 R8 w" B/ W1 H
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. 7 @2 X2 r+ ^# T- B. Z- X
1 N9 L& L  q( s6 a) z, |
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
* F" V0 L# y) S( g( F7 L0 N2 T
3 Z. p6 b+ Q* V; G7 ]: KEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you." r  M% o# ~8 a1 ^4 C- M
& N7 E, Q6 _7 f8 X" E
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. , ^' W: F: q/ _2 O! l
8 {# O1 N) v. `: p, @
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
