Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
: W6 _# O& r7 d& Q6 \- E2 d$ ]7 @% f& z6 ?& N' n' \
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 7 h# G  g: }5 ]  k
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.7 v( K6 t) ^3 C6 G9 m: M

$ L1 ~6 J3 t! i+ D9 R: x' R2 hMany 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. ( J. b" o/ z; j7 b- x2 M
7 k+ n2 L" M0 C4 ~: k; h# A
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
, K$ ~5 Z: s) W, g' |) {3 u+ U) u: T: J0 I
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
) ~# _: A( O# w+ {+ B8 ^1 u* u3 l5 x# H1 ]. e
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
! K' G+ r& ~. j5 R# }( o
+ G" ~; g- r" @( G* x" E# [Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
