" ]9 g/ _: t+ V
/ k* \1 C3 h* F9 i6 oBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ a" e) v0 \0 W  S+ c

4 i* n5 F1 O! A1 f* q1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

' m) F7 c" W" |3 @& R  B4 `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.
6 y7 z. x. N: i. u1 \) c  i$ e* Q/ f' I! d; f0 u
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.
' }. P& _' Q, O* N9 T+ a" p' z, ]* \. n# `! ~
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ( A2 _0 q0 m* [# z9 k; P+ z

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.$ S# G2 K" F  D+ ~' |& s5 a) M# B

) H$ A9 M% s. S& J1 O* EFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
