" ?) l7 K2 T+ S+ h& {( GBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
% p4 z9 m3 n& D4 U( ~( J. C) M, E% x/ k( a, Z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! # c! }5 L- @+ v% D) y* `
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
" A4 E: H" M# L8 x4 H  K' j9 F. D* _# t9 T# @0 D
2) 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.. z& d  g8 a5 ^. O! N7 N* E/ m+ w
2 p5 z  J# O* W* F+ S, [; g& h2 L( n
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 P7 c% L; @, m9 q6 H3 Z' C. T: W9 I6 d! N3 o& P5 W8 \! U/ A2 I
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 3 D' k! b) T3 V4 a; a/ c

" ?; e2 R8 t0 k4 BEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.3 {" f9 Q2 }4 t, r9 m+ Y
( v6 L) K$ F& B! k! x/ T
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
+ @3 f' Z  R) j& F6 j! ]$ d. X3 z& H5 n" m& V9 W/ n' c1 W
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.. P, N: m' t7 B; K
