" h4 T7 ?3 a2 f# u' |0 l8 Q! p2 [" b- a7 A3 a' d
Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
2 B1 ~5 ^* ]( t4 c- r. [& r9 K* u1 f- A
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
- q! V8 p( M% E. L7 iHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
, Q* X+ @$ H5 y, g$ W: ]6 \, u) x3 {
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.
; j0 ]8 ~7 V0 p2 R6 B: Q! L- s/ ]; m, M. y
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. ' W! d" D1 ^! \7 b; p7 {6 T

: M+ \( s/ s0 J# G" i2 }A balance diet, and exercise regularly & v& k, O( I3 r, [; D' w4 k. }
  F3 D/ _3 }, m# d& e$ x
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
' X+ b# ?9 r* y0 U7 g% w7 Y: O% T4 u; q8 c
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
3 d$ Q! o- B) B; \* I9 e# \) @+ h
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.& s; O: x7 j& Y2 Y, z7 e# N- ]
