! @. r, e! H" s8 W8 D) BBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

7 V1 D' u  C+ H8 \" A1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
  v3 J  Y' y6 oHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

9 \7 Z/ b) N9 K, [$ m2) 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.& {+ H. g, Q0 C6 A

7 X' f$ _3 `1 n8 i4 z% E, }, fMany 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. " p# S9 B2 J) y& [" r# L, \

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

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.
