1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

  t8 ]2 Z8 _& }8 C1 D- r) U2) 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.) z5 l- T% A2 L1 m0 L" I
5 R8 Q2 T4 n' F& J% h8 F
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. / a8 G( `; a; U  d

2 J) z+ ~! e- ?: P6 A& b8 ~A balance diet, and exercise regularly 5 c& A: H% m. L. f: N

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
