Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, * U  N  B$ R; H' G: I6 V0 G& R: k
& p; e( {  x1 c$ i$ R
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
# `3 z  q; v$ J9 M# |; iHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. : f4 ^2 P8 X& X3 p5 r6 N

/ Y5 a4 u: J' f% Y5 Q4 X! m2) 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.
( E1 X: C! ?; S* `, @) r, n
2 m/ q4 s5 a2 q8 O) qMany 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.
+ d0 B( S9 Q$ w7 l+ L9 U6 Z
2 j0 e* F+ o/ C- aA balance diet, and exercise regularly + s: f! }* c+ [2 t6 Y8 ]4 Q8 ^6 j' L
2 E* ]9 I2 f6 @1 C
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
7 z2 p* [% p8 l/ X* i' _, B, G+ ~1 }9 L; `2 M
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. # m1 i8 q3 j  C2 s2 |

7 e4 O" g6 Y4 C8 C& A! H4 bTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
