4 R. N' i1 g& F, `& D' ]8 [& XBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
) t0 O& h# X: k1 C$ I6 J3 e7 N+ m' Z+ D2 v
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
( K5 K0 L( Z, y8 [* O, H$ jHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 1 Y8 [5 e3 r/ r

$ p! r2 J# k: T2 P' S+ G9 S8 ^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.
% R" L8 t- E  x$ k1 v* s: K
. W8 N5 f* _. z( JMany 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. - Q4 {" I0 J. k8 L
  x+ O. O/ w! E& i, H: _
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
. C/ ~  r" u7 Z- H. c  @6 d8 B" ^3 L
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
* c9 f2 t# c6 v
9 {7 _- b/ Y3 u  mFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 4 T, c; B0 z/ q
( T7 S8 b6 ]9 X9 Y: s
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health." z: C$ G2 n. D9 W# `
