7 P$ i! k6 y: |: C7 Q, KBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
1 @2 a& ]# _, `: x% I+ _! z8 w8 `% P; v% ~
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
$ s1 E5 k$ n" Z# w( S$ S4 }7 LHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
$ B: [. z7 Z/ y" o" |: k6 k3 }+ J- n% x5 {2 G) H) U& _2 {% U$ E  e1 P
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.
" G8 Z' \6 `  }4 u% k' G; X. s/ d4 j# I+ W% m6 w
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
& g  Y1 R- @( @( M8 ^7 y
8 z* @" @3 l  E0 j* o% fEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
$ \' J: q) A9 _2 f$ Z
* o9 w- x) {2 x3 A% [# p; O* b. `For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
0 z: e( B6 a% u7 E4 H3 e! h) T1 J# p5 Z% N
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
