' m9 `- K2 z1 O$ W% V, s: hBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 2 X/ s: O9 {7 g( J% t
- l2 k! H0 p) G, Y1 m
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
# ]$ L% G7 d1 ?$ nHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( X+ T4 W$ |$ G9 w; K

( J# h0 G8 v2 m2 m& y8 w2) 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.
* e& x  f! i1 |2 \) ?! C. M, y4 g- c% O
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.
& l0 T& T& ?& M7 M$ t, ]' J  }) ?1 W) r2 u8 l# j
A balance diet, and exercise regularly * i1 [/ }0 y4 n( k5 p

6 g$ [* S; z1 K- M& e6 }* ]' ~Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
5 w- u- _: K* L1 [6 F. G$ s& @' e/ _4 e7 @+ K
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 8 e! u5 \6 e. R/ ?' k- f$ w3 h

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
