Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . z" b) q, u. {" b8 F
9 g# [/ z* J  P
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! + t/ u! f" _5 {% i& |% d
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. - Y5 j+ Z6 z- w+ h; L2 `

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.
) O* k1 ]1 o6 J0 \  q+ T/ q% U0 v$ y8 a* t2 \1 g$ N
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. ) ?/ d& O! r1 T# R$ r

: r3 q# y4 U8 a' R, Z/ |  ~A balance diet, and exercise regularly : c* \/ X& J; e6 R

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

7 @8 e; N" Y& O/ wFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

, d9 }7 s8 A; fTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
