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

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

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.
  Q" V5 E4 a) S- T; U/ S* \* _
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.

1 w" M  O- z8 s7 d. A. H* x* m* IA balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
: w7 P( }; _' i5 C/ j; ^( {/ g! [5 B5 K2 s/ x# P# x
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.( E! [+ [$ F+ X1 @1 G
