Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
  o+ b4 H7 S4 E: u! H3 R+ ~) D; `. |9 y7 w3 e
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
' g0 r6 h; |0 Y  \High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. " M# D" M# r& V0 n. J3 P2 r, |: R3 \

9 m; b, c# g3 ?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." M2 F& b. w. C+ R- V) j
# Q* C3 L3 {6 K
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.
$ Y; ?/ A8 e3 E. t& i% t+ S9 T4 j1 @4 }7 @0 l, d7 u. a
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 7 x( V- H" S( I: F

4 v" R( U% T' F, b( J; ]4 ?Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
; z0 H; G' e4 g0 z' q. |' o* T! B9 F3 c+ P
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 3 U% k5 S/ X% N( s/ @

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