Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / L. h1 X( x' i& ]/ P
9 e( v: S3 H: j. x) Y3 t$ J9 u# u
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! # ~8 \# ?& L! h2 w3 O
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 9 \* h( K0 `, C/ `
, F6 y8 v5 ^8 S: u( u2 I$ z3 Z& O
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.
+ N/ L5 N* }# A; T; Z6 x- s' r3 v2 t, c8 q0 L! i- |
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.
2 @6 @4 ^9 t7 e0 u$ G2 s6 `2 E# }2 l) L; v* b7 ^* m
A balance diet, and exercise regularly % x; n% Y* j! I( C3 ]/ w: |

$ t) ]+ k4 I& l2 j0 oEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.% L# N  Z5 u6 c  P6 o7 J: i& n% C3 D8 F! y
4 G' T/ p, P# O
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. & o# r! M) A( t3 O4 Y# M* K& F8 d" l
, \- Q4 g/ A, K; S8 E. R
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health., D% Z! K( F6 ?
