$ \9 @+ _9 c! m! OBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
5 U! t" M: M# v) p: W- f* M0 p5 Z7 g3 ]2 W) ^% N9 U+ W, G
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 4 |. r% ?) D: D7 N# \
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 0 O6 P' I, O9 u/ N9 |

2 H6 w/ }# \/ Z) Z  }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.
" P. E+ j+ _+ m, y- ?
- d  x3 v$ g. U/ x; }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.
4 l8 x  a2 @( H4 H0 |% ]& t# i8 y1 p- A8 ~
A balance diet, and exercise regularly . @+ S1 N" F" m, t: P+ x/ @; M  ]

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.( r9 N$ ?% G, z' j/ r
4 V4 P6 E( A# z. v
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 4 L" j4 ?, E; {1 l
- \8 ?& s; X! W# F
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
