Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 2 a# ^6 @  J9 p6 Z! ~, y
( ?+ }$ S2 q( F) `8 E
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! - P& R7 h3 P$ g; R( z
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 5 U+ g* v1 h4 F( }% H* j. P

' @5 q) x* G  s* {- a3 h, u* t2) 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., T* {" i5 b+ c2 `. B
3 z- ?/ P6 y" Z! K
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. 4 ]8 g! n& w; p$ ?! n

( N" d$ G+ L7 `2 SA balance diet, and exercise regularly - E8 d1 i; [$ I* b0 J/ I0 @1 D

' @# c+ ]& y  {9 d; E( EEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
% I' i& ?' F4 e/ K5 U3 j' O( G
% ^% ?8 ]3 B* ^6 i- A) o& D/ ZFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. / m/ u& W( |% t: m! o, K

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
