( A* j3 D6 U# d) }: `) Q. aBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 3 s5 C+ m: W  c- ?. h" A
$ d3 E7 J2 s- G/ Z8 Y& h! b( S
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 9 ~8 a% \  j9 E
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
  J* S! h& {9 K: U; v6 x/ P1 L, B2 x0 g4 @4 l6 H5 ?
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.& v1 l* h+ ^7 v1 F. e- R

( }4 }' w7 g7 j4 h% U; 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. 1 A. ~8 F9 Q2 j3 K

2 u7 i  ]9 p7 c# K* ?7 MA balance diet, and exercise regularly
1 b5 X$ S$ ^/ `3 ]% Y8 U, K  u9 U. v
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.* E1 j7 j; i2 C8 W

. _9 ?) ?2 Y: f7 {3 IFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
1 W) {2 w# {5 r+ h) }  c& X; e) S' B8 z) a0 k( o% p" d
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
