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.
8 B! J* j% Y5 J7 N$ k
8 n4 e1 H2 R* DMany 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. # m+ G: c: l* t5 r- A$ L& h# E

A balance diet, and exercise regularly ; v* t9 h4 ^; c5 @# O0 d

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.$ M" v  x% t/ g" S3 r

For 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.0 ?6 V8 Y, \8 s6 e
