Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ ^- O; b0 O- N/ Q" u# B

# i7 q2 N& }9 a! m6 F  }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.
9 G- m( L2 C+ T$ U2 |  b- F$ u5 s+ D& 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.
: O: d2 l2 k& _- ]/ R7 Q# Q' U# E8 j0 r* r1 P3 N) ?
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
