1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 6 i) b- F8 s4 O  M: x. n5 g
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; b0 }' W) t: ~

) ~5 D. B8 A$ k8 D2) 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.  Y9 r4 i  E5 @8 K
( y+ B6 V0 q/ A
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.
9 {; l* w$ X/ z) v4 }! ?
4 d$ L' M. ^$ F! z9 P3 x5 m* CA balance diet, and exercise regularly , W  Y; [5 D7 E, s9 ^

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.
