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

  Q- c0 ?2 J) c0 N- C8 H) a1 w1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

1 p4 W$ l6 p! 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.( j3 ?) {  t- U) r3 r, o
* R9 H* N" H' k2 }
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.
3 ^- q0 n- x9 Q" S0 v6 P* y$ y4 G% A" w3 a
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
