9 J  z( `  j; E7 n3 O4 hBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 5 G& L" t7 R4 |) A/ |* q6 O
6 f. y* N( q9 {3 ]+ J& G
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

" [! M! n4 k/ R9 f$ I2) 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.' f; {- g+ t) }. J8 w
- {9 F; O$ H8 v2 Q
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.
# v! [$ s+ l1 n. l
# Q3 j3 k8 Z" Z# `: hA balance diet, and exercise regularly
/ `* l. p) z0 \( _3 _# i. h/ w' F8 \& M; i4 E# S$ Y9 ?" N7 G" o
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.1 u9 N/ S* Y" k" \

2 y3 k) I) x3 T9 o+ o7 g- dFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
: K( J8 g4 M: y# f+ P; u: I
& L' t6 U  I/ I. U2 Z5 m* x# vTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.9 I! x. s4 ]$ Z, D1 M5 W: I
