  u# Y  f) r1 u- G! d& o1 PBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
1 D9 t) a0 U5 o! T* L. n  _8 E: Z7 i4 O2 J
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 6 S! t7 u* x0 V# [
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; l1 N1 b4 G, ?1 Z# u
! Z0 g4 a! G1 O& k8 o! d9 C
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.
, a, n+ L) y! v2 j5 P1 G- Z/ a9 n* t4 M7 V, E. W3 v# B
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. 6 X6 [+ [) Q8 H6 C3 K; Z

A balance diet, and exercise regularly $ z4 M8 m1 n$ v; ^3 y% e1 `. i
