High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
  W, _3 x6 Q' S
1 s3 T- `' H1 r4 R& g' a3 w" X2) 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.
! J: v8 Q9 R( E7 {; T2 w& }8 w" q; ]  m* |
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.
# E% a  ^- ^4 P8 H/ i* R: b0 ]/ g! y' R$ X* T4 e6 q
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
