1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! * v( j5 c+ M6 ?% E4 T
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.  \& }, E1 {6 B( k+ l. c9 o

% [6 Q3 ^" ?/ hMany 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.   s; U: h' f1 p, ~+ D

7 z" n8 x  ~0 O  XA balance diet, and exercise regularly . G: r7 g% {4 v( Y% z

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.# l9 J1 y1 H, g9 b
