Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ; g0 [0 U; a) B  K' ]1 G
5 i6 a, a: A2 a/ T4 @3 Y1 W1 W
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 4 N  b- B4 J$ a) D
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; o/ h; w0 }& Y2 E1 ^; O+ O

$ O) V2 D8 m4 ~, 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.
( e/ L; N# c- A3 F/ ~" B. V! v# Z7 D/ N
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.
5 y8 W1 V6 n$ @/ M0 ~0 s' b$ X$ I1 q" {

9 V. {# J& n- p' ^* `Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

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.
