1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

( A$ i9 h( {0 y2 h) j2 \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.
0 Z( \8 p: L+ s9 X+ h( U
& {3 [* k- y& ~0 [) n- gMany 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. 5 ?- S# I% {! a: D, q# p1 K

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. , U# A2 N* o6 F" o' r
