Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 1 @" m$ l2 e5 H/ {9 j

- ^) m. t# H& p3 V1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.3 j' |9 Q) h" j# f% w/ d; D

0 ?2 y# U, E" J7 _; a3 iMany 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.
5 T5 a0 b. C8 j0 d2 ~7 c/ C+ D3 h' E7 o! w! Q
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
