Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ! i# e$ g2 h% i! l, G1 h+ J
+ R* i9 H4 ^, S1 G) J" I' O
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - r9 I2 b* F! M0 b# M* `& o7 Y4 n
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.5 P7 s9 g7 S$ Q8 y
* e( m2 X0 v7 X( j5 Z
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. % r, X! X6 B, V2 \* B) s9 ?5 \
2 h# c% M6 ?2 q  }. Y% G2 C, d7 ^
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 3 O) z7 g6 h. G
; M' J+ i* {9 m7 i: G6 `) O* d1 |, I) s5 s
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
& O9 m6 t$ v- j! e$ j
6 N. h: u0 C: @+ n: u/ S. P0 VFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
  x# K& l1 }3 G! a0 Z* G& T% v  z, f5 |* `' Q
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.6 j0 {6 ?' j) `( r: H5 k
