1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 3 v$ s* M- U8 q
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

# |& D0 t$ p; O2 N2) 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.$ {1 K& m5 j+ L8 E$ F; l
1 J$ z8 w% k! i  F  a
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.
