8 o5 N. `. D2 d; OBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, : a3 a- B( ^9 ?* f
- B+ v5 ~% ?! d" p2 \# w
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
# O: Q% `( ?+ |1 w- UHigh-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.- o3 t! i$ \: j1 t( k& _$ `

+ J7 V$ G6 [+ JMany 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. ! O3 M% a& c9 g3 J6 d. Q

2 A" n; X$ B2 b9 R, m* r. |A balance diet, and exercise regularly
$ k( i* g3 ]0 S& _
* R, }' {0 g) z/ V( O! O# LEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
