' V* q" ~; d# z/ l# Y  GBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
5 A  C1 O- K* E+ o% w0 Q2 i$ i
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.0 o+ {0 G/ P8 A) X
& c! f3 ^5 ^; }8 g2 h/ T$ p' D) S# T2 ~
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.
7 O/ _8 {$ k, C3 A9 {: g' X+ D' T4 F% n& x
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 3 ]/ [) b- z3 i
/ r7 ?7 L) v& u/ E3 c* ]- n+ H) O
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.( B$ p4 t- q9 V2 B8 H% u. t

  s& M  P! K! O% t& dFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ! ^: O, f* O) W; p" T; l; N, k
! k; P4 R$ C; X! g  h! H
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.( q. l3 W0 Z% z. U
