Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, & m* u% Y* ^$ L% v
( k  w; n$ U/ F& t% O
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.1 F! [) r* ~' X3 {- ?" W  p4 w
9 m( X4 r( Q; [5 p; T
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.
( V/ |5 Q7 d( j5 i, E4 G: u( b- J+ `' q- _8 Q. n3 o  F
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 8 f: q) H! |' Y& ~3 g

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
3 X+ T) L3 F: b1 E9 h& b7 V7 l* U" e
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 3 V8 r& e5 P" p" U( g

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health." e' }$ }) u: D7 i3 F# G
