$ e' }2 [8 G# p2 q5 jBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
1 d, l! e4 G. h. f: v' t& ], k7 Q
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! * _! W' l$ I" }7 \* e2 j8 ^. l/ [
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 5 A. O% L# V+ R9 t1 Y! d# H- t8 ~& j

' I! C' j9 W( x4 S! ]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.
; a* w( C" e% R8 k1 G
% E7 f  f5 q% P; @* A' BMany 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 ]0 n* H. G3 w& z$ I. D3 o' B3 Q
  e) @! E/ J: i9 a, a
A balance diet, and exercise regularly $ C9 f7 @# h2 {' j
0 w; {- [. n' m& \6 J- |
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you., h  P3 h+ P, z; T. p
3 ]& L8 m# c1 p9 w& y1 n5 ~: V9 c
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
% G: ^3 n& n1 q' a6 L  T7 r7 C  S: W; d5 b9 d) U2 L6 C4 R
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
