( j3 ]0 \, j  w1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
% s+ d9 ]" q2 cHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

8 ~* R; }8 d( _. k* [$ I2) 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.- L. u$ f9 _+ O9 S5 ]
& M8 I+ I) ^8 q7 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.
3 e' W4 O/ I0 n" J2 m5 [( `: L+ Z0 _- ^) g5 v0 x) u
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

* R- `7 q% {3 O) N( P1 wEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

/ q) l! S" D. }2 v# M8 JFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 3 b7 J7 e; k" R' B

1 q+ f: d" d+ k1 [" x; n* L! Z2 PTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
