Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, . l/ K6 V  `! G0 K! o
' s1 M/ F; I9 R6 `9 B3 \9 w4 G
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ; k2 c3 y  b( Q1 f# G
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

3 R& ?/ S4 G7 M2 m- k" A( k# S2) 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 H3 |+ z; j6 B8 M6 D
. K0 e1 ?$ B5 W0 X8 X% Q5 Z. I1 E
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. , m5 j- F9 n2 [6 g9 b6 v
) I% m6 ]8 \+ N+ f  }" n
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
9 ]( m8 u  m0 b: I$ N
4 U8 V& M0 l4 s; L3 MEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
- E9 Z9 e! p0 d6 q8 i$ Z3 x, }0 [( J5 V  ?* ~. w  G* t1 Y2 d
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
0 b5 J! @0 I- _; Y9 d4 J+ z3 k; U. y" t; Y; O3 ?
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
