1 R' n5 d+ f- I+ W% U5 H7 ?6 f, gBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ z5 k7 h, q- z7 B# w3 e9 ~- E: ~2 N
1 C7 Q! c! B+ D0 [2 O) A
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! : v5 I5 R2 M6 {5 u
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
( Q1 _; q; @0 ~" ^! ?  q9 Y8 T8 m! M6 L& r  e8 g
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.0 C8 d! t$ F5 M8 g/ X9 I  ?7 L. G

: G6 k/ n' U7 m5 p- @) dMany 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. ( D( n: p' b) j1 G+ _
- M, D5 s2 d. ~6 S
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.9 u3 n! T7 s! t6 _; ~

* Z! V6 g9 v& [. L9 ZFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
  d  R( F. I  E/ y# ^, g, J4 Q
! x, N4 g: ^; x& |0 b5 m! KTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
