Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, & n( \% Z, L4 t3 w. r* m' Z  U
; s' ^) T8 j5 d* e7 f9 |
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 s0 s0 `, E7 Q8 c- k9 n7 ]+ z4 k6 j: C+ }$ b& s& n. n
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. ' }8 A/ n% ?9 a5 _' A1 t: v/ y

A balance diet, and exercise regularly 1 y4 K( _3 c5 j/ A$ n5 ]4 _
- g- s/ N. B' E9 i
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.% @- F" L, Z% ]0 Z6 V5 v
  j# p& ~) v+ s
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
  X( h4 g9 Q3 Y' ^6 A" R' Z. m6 A: ]; t* m% H
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health./ c  a( H1 K; T9 L  X. U3 v  A( c
