Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 3 D2 w/ C: i+ U

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

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.8 E; w) U) d( r5 W8 R% j/ Z4 k$ P
; c7 [+ K+ M# R2 j/ H& L5 }9 `
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. , l) |8 P" t' F8 d. `- E3 W

A balance diet, and exercise regularly
