9 r" n/ a0 `; }/ r$ ZBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
& s& M9 y6 k6 O5 U4 C7 m3 Z' A+ k1 X/ a% O
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 1 ^& A1 |0 b/ C% u$ K
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.' [+ v# q- z8 ]$ f; G+ @7 m' H

0 Y# x  b. a. b& SMany 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.
1 ]/ w( u- c& Y- E; }+ a. X4 D, j; C+ W4 X% m
A balance diet, and exercise regularly + f! F8 i7 P) Z5 n& [

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.4 [* f+ b( N1 l& Y$ I1 i
  [: a( }" X% j6 U
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
/ I- X" n% n8 V
( ]$ `4 Z, T% P* M  ATherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.. [4 {% K4 F7 Y" Y" z( n
