Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
. ?1 @5 `& O% h& C
9 H2 }2 v. H. q9 m1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
5 N  b: f) U) z: {+ N) eHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
3 {* I/ B7 P$ ^- y, b* W
+ w# E% l! w, `* X8 y' e) x2) 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.
5 k  J* Y. B) F$ a1 z) O* O0 u+ ?2 U' ~  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. 3 c* _9 b( s( b

/ v$ V2 O1 K) F) u! l0 l7 {' rA balance diet, and exercise regularly
0 s& F, {" o9 k9 H% i: P8 R( o+ h, P2 @% \% m- K& ^. x
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
