Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 2 U$ t" C( k. g( e! P0 H; z9 Q

3 e4 G# u9 Q, Z& v3 o2) 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.
" D5 T' M9 Q( F8 |5 z8 i  ]4 d* E" |9 o/ c" R- \* t
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. - O1 x# `# h% r* z3 `
8 A3 y: @) c# A- d- b* ]8 e) V
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

: }  {7 V5 v$ W9 XFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
7 O& Q; U* M9 b6 ^! u) E0 f( D- {. X" f% a6 q3 `
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
