Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 7 Y4 [$ O, f: u: r% @' s
; Y& B! m. d: [; f! G" s
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 6 z+ D) \: H6 H! |% s) j; M
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. $ U. ^( T2 P' w

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.
! N+ W' L) s0 I( x
4 G& ?7 y& }+ c# i" C4 u/ a  UMany 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. 9 B4 G. W3 y9 T: q: h

/ u' \/ K  l8 l- ZA balance diet, and exercise regularly ' L. h9 J, \2 W

' L7 J" n4 s) n" ]6 WFor 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.
