Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ P$ r( W0 `. f- X
. Z2 Q- }( Z) A$ n1 v1 ?
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! : ^( f; d7 K  T( }* E' h
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. * T7 M* v" A0 K$ k6 a, J

% P- u5 q# |0 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.  g) H6 p/ n: |: p- U
$ }+ O, Q6 u/ e7 l" V; P$ y2 g
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. + g# d. B% A) H  h1 e

- G. d* O9 b9 g2 GA balance diet, and exercise regularly
- j4 H3 l8 E5 N4 M5 f/ r" v4 E6 u2 U# ?: v) \8 O2 I0 k5 Y
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.* E: d5 ]- W0 y1 g

& G' v# ^( J$ V2 U$ M  N9 V& H4 d9 xFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
, p- o5 n8 X2 I0 O: Q: @# N) I4 V' t5 S8 g* K
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.9 B; F" ~3 V$ `2 F# ~
