+ |! R. u- `  X1 j+ zBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 u! T! g9 k2 I! P! ?! n

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
$ ^; E7 }3 Q3 B+ f" C8 d, O7 w  Y2 S
3 W0 w0 B9 C5 [  q/ j! U, k2) 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  A2 f4 B* t- V0 l; A
" G' A* J8 W4 U! a- j8 zMany 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. & n$ a5 T; n# E
, ], Y0 Z$ m' C9 W1 V4 }9 h
A balance diet, and exercise regularly % t9 Y' z2 j* A, @4 M& J
# b# P! u1 w3 O$ N
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
2 O0 y) _- T4 j7 Q0 S. {" Z( C$ ]$ P
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. / ?3 i4 e' a+ h! ^
( Z$ F* `- U2 B$ B3 C
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.7 v8 B7 v: r% e; f. K8 {: W
