. J( f8 o4 `& N9 qBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
( h6 h1 X0 B0 O7 {' _4 e/ Y7 f* O. ^, |6 X  p# c2 C* C8 K
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

6 i6 T# V3 T! b2 R8 H0 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./ L1 O1 N7 w8 `. {! n/ [
* g1 m' z0 c* d8 S8 h4 J
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.
# o. {4 |, s- k; }* d0 Y/ \3 W. u
; O8 I2 A* }0 g4 F2 y0 LA balance diet, and exercise regularly $ X1 ^4 ^1 c( F0 l. q+ M: a+ y6 `
, M5 G/ `% O0 A) \* s  Q
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.; [9 X' F. N; s) I
! n. j9 V3 Z& l/ _' D: m) F6 u6 D
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
2 c6 f7 T7 x' P: O- H& ~/ O8 O; c0 Z
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
