8 H, M3 l0 X; |! V$ x6 A. VBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 3 U, \) _' O( v7 }% a3 F& W, @
# [/ @9 J" y. i- A# j
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! : R; O# i1 t) u

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) {) q6 ~  K3 q- T; m
3 S3 r: G% g- Q/ zMany 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 t% P) S* d' U5 C

- ?, O2 @9 G" u) W) y/ \7 K5 y- dA balance diet, and exercise regularly
( D- i" P( V- l- {: r: |) X- G( I! m" ]) Y& l
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
/ V( \0 H* h7 c( W  c, w' w% D* B  H, R! ^9 c2 U
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. " I; ]3 g5 \5 o: S
# S4 ?/ x( ]" V8 M
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health., f8 B. ]4 `& O
