1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

6 \3 B" \/ K) H- P2) 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.
; U* q8 w7 @2 B4 L3 y1 k3 {9 k' B0 \, `, e
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. 6 m# g- n( r1 B* W: M! [' w

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 2 L8 K' h) w* b0 r6 s2 }( x

3 }/ ?! l  u4 U8 e& ?4 @1 k8 v" fEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. : v8 a+ E8 U' p3 `3 H8 H! J/ R

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