High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

( |( F  E1 A& U* y, a2) 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 z: M+ y6 Z3 n7 e( {4 ^# m7 |0 I7 G$ b# G3 x; S/ L3 w0 g! S/ x. e
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. * @9 Z4 r( {! J% g

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.8 S; H; g/ R( i
