1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 8 s+ q7 T5 c" L8 F
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
1 X# r5 V! P* ]8 c' P! ?# ~- x2 a+ A9 w& ~, D
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.
" Q  ~: T- r( W/ q* r# J2 L2 D8 t9 b+ @* c# M2 I
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

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.; l. ^( C) q! v! C# A: D
