Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
; T7 G9 C: S; q/ i2 v9 {
0 _( @3 W# X9 O- ]# Q' E1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 2 _4 D  u+ w- m; m2 [: K6 g0 t% w
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.   q1 v0 x5 e2 q/ U

( Y9 T+ f+ e6 M4 s+ R2) 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.: t# K3 g2 j* u9 M

# Q, S' H. J7 X& k( d% ZMany 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. ; B& C6 a5 ^. T
4 k- H: h( p6 A; d8 v
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 9 z& m; }$ W) O+ I' S+ S* D& Y

" l; |% {- Q: O) ^% h6 O  gEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
8 N; g5 e! p/ Y  C  M5 z, {* H$ D4 M. J7 f* f# z
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
: d; v6 G. w" t$ x  L4 S( |' b: v4 l  X& w
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
