3 _2 H0 s7 q0 I* ~1 @. W9 I, aBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
$ R# F! B  N  j% W* C, ]" d4 z; d; `4 R! U
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

" v/ J& v& G( I: I4 h2) 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.
/ o) S9 l3 ^1 l0 @8 T  W
. b( Q5 T# c, zMany 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 S6 J( A5 p" @! F) A8 T

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 4 c1 s/ t% |; ?0 C
