, B  e$ x0 \4 d  JBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 {" [9 F& z, U7 b, K6 ]

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! . @; z3 ]5 ~) S
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.: ?* A+ x% l0 R% ~( v+ P( Z
2 K2 c' t" ]1 M6 @0 c- `
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. * v0 E! N# d) s2 d0 Y

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.$ c, r: _: y+ U0 i+ t* _
