Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
( O9 Y( B4 r  i, X
0 O% @6 _9 }5 G& Q3 x. A' T. q3 z1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ; n' D- d1 m7 o2 T3 f0 J
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. - N  u* K8 L5 W/ n
  I$ b/ o! v7 \7 w* {2 p, p2 I
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.- }" q. ^/ d$ @. D3 E7 ^

% _4 b4 G# z9 kMany 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.
3 W. S$ r& u7 C/ I5 @- A- q' C: t: n" |
A balance diet, and exercise regularly   `3 c( \, k. w: W

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.' C$ G4 \4 R# \; J& G$ \% f6 ?

) P* X& A5 B2 G2 NFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
& m) d! t5 B0 k# w5 J1 g/ y, R$ p
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.1 E$ K# ?+ B0 B& L5 E
