Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

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., C4 `7 b2 F& V' j% q

: L6 c8 W. Z) U8 z7 e( c7 [& WMany 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.
% p1 }4 O- E  t" j  m1 b( D6 g' K+ Y/ U3 a
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
5 X% z; s$ u+ z* ~# r. @$ S0 U5 W# ^* w# ]/ `
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.  j+ L  I0 r3 [' P* U8 A/ V. V

5 n; E2 g8 i& dFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. , a% H  g/ _$ k0 q& Y! E

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health." g5 k! z/ s& m
