6 S- |2 @4 x/ [Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
* j: ^1 Q; k2 N- @High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
% l  _/ Q; m2 g: s: J" y
# C5 @! }9 w( F: p" w2) 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.7 X' Q8 A2 N/ V' P4 @6 |& e) J

7 I! A$ f% `+ @5 g8 |; M1 T" yMany 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.
) ~2 F$ O; ^7 D7 K3 R, ]1 m$ ~! ^& e' z- W7 b8 Y
A balance diet, and exercise regularly & y3 [% {0 q/ @9 U) a$ R; S

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
% U4 ~! N1 q% D  [
- S- f4 j) a9 }7 x8 h3 c) b7 KFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
, }! n% H" I2 D; B5 C# c* U4 n( b$ N: `7 r9 |8 \+ v( G7 }/ [
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
