Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . A) e7 {; P/ d6 c

' c# ~. a7 |. n& E) h+ M1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

3 [2 ~! B; J5 V9 R, D$ i' 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.9 E# R) b2 f$ |: @* n/ g
; v, w+ |) H6 P) y
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. ' Y' V/ Y* j$ F4 Z0 z
! u. P1 _0 |2 j7 m. q/ A
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
