Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / v- U  L7 r% {+ o

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

5 j5 u; g& r$ L2) 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.3 g3 R; E5 u. _9 l7 C

4 M' g1 p) x' E% 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. 6 E! \% @+ k2 n) A" t

3 p5 x+ _* F6 w, S! r- @A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.% W% ?# ^( g* _3 {$ e7 C6 Z
