Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 Y6 ^+ e; g' C! f  n& ?
0 e$ j3 P1 K- I: g
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 9 [+ t* x& i5 Y- O9 j; x& m
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. / D$ a" l) L7 n3 j3 t

1 |  V' d0 j9 u' M' f' J2) 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.
+ b' h. S% X) G0 I' {0 F" G/ R6 o! }: a( h1 z
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 R" G7 {0 F9 a* n' L% ^1 v- i$ ?2 Y9 Z6 p% L
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 5 L+ x) `/ Z' r3 @% M! a

. V: ~5 m- p# g2 D, m. SEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.' Z6 s; y  {* R
. U# d0 K, ^& b5 ?
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. * ]1 N. I' v& F4 W% N

6 m2 a7 r. E: I/ \* V  @; KTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
