3 T$ {1 L; ]) t, h4 [/ |% w$ sBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, % x$ h1 Z5 i* d/ a

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
1 g" K& v4 Q% Z$ n1 bHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

2 k: L& v+ u& n2) 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.
8 Q3 f9 K) F) Z6 I' q- F- F" V4 K5 @
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. 4 C7 t( t7 j# o6 ~

* S4 G  o- o  d: T" t0 kA balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
