Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
' U, y1 z4 R9 a# z
  g, L1 s8 y; _; d1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
, j2 k  M* C$ q5 LHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 7 k* E( s  {! N, Q

% u6 ]& K, c! c; z( ~4 C2) 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.! U" g7 t% G: ^
, U% T9 a/ c* M1 ]
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.
& a) R; C4 F7 i8 q6 `; g0 A. x( n1 x$ T: |- w
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
" i, C7 z& Z7 j# ^: ~2 G; E4 b4 X0 o. @, L
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.+ t' O5 }0 h2 V4 T3 {- f( R: Q
" H7 A7 m. G+ F% _1 t" [" x& h2 t
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % Y* P$ M9 }, M

9 j- I: `- ~& @$ k, Q- fTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
