High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; y( ~3 X- C- }0 |4 g/ i # n) X& o- [- _( L k7 y2) 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. + e6 ~& b8 e& ^* U2 p2 A : R) n# U) q& iMany 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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. * l) f6 d4 O* x5 s1 @% i

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you. " i2 U. }$ }3 E6 x 5 l+ C, S1 C6 K1 TFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 0 b. y$ y. [, O, s, d* U7 `/ h: x

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health. 4 ]* F7 f( d5 L7 [- W* c6 a, o" C" a8 r! F! u& C% {) D7 b
