Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ; l0 P' C6 G9 W$ o7 ^1 F

; v0 S, S. r3 \1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

& r. b  y9 ~' Y2 v0 k8 y5 f2) 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.
. U. C7 y6 l1 ^2 G3 n9 {
* Q8 Q/ ^* U5 V$ q' S+ QMany 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. % g' L' C& B2 N" `; z1 h
! q1 _8 @% D1 M
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. 8 c3 o# `3 O$ [* \3 H7 [+ b
