( p! z$ D' Y0 R; y3 q# m' b: zBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
8 q' _2 t) }0 X! f: }9 g! k7 }& R' V: P9 w1 D1 B
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!   Z$ [8 I9 N/ E+ k3 g: P
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 8 y4 O& y2 l5 K4 u. P! h1 g
' v+ y9 W* J5 R0 P. |
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 s% `% }5 k) b5 t" y3 r: X6 N

9 _' `: E% Q% w- j4 F1 s# M& k& gMany 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. , k6 Y# r, N  E! X6 _

9 O+ m7 h  k! lA balance diet, and exercise regularly 6 m6 ^0 R$ M7 i( F) [2 H8 v

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.7 J( ~2 k) z4 T( h7 ]& s

8 Y: Y1 M" {: S9 [6 g7 cFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
/ a' g% Q9 H/ H, J! j6 {9 V- M' Z" Z% K
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
