& @: c8 G" e% OBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 7 l* r8 U. r& d4 p" N+ M+ k' O/ i8 S5 j
' }( A5 W2 t% r: J$ Z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

3 X5 v; s9 x$ b' Z7 U# L/ k- A2) 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.
! o! Z; U& T# R9 q. w
3 B* X  R+ c% G* Q& d2 qMany 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. 8 G2 u; V: z. E1 m
9 n$ ]4 ?) E; G4 p& g/ D% g
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
& s: [5 }, r/ Z: B+ r
: S( R5 N& D0 L; pEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
! E0 r4 C6 M" D! z& \4 x% @- g+ t$ Z- D9 U$ ?" _, ?8 [
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
  c& e( B% V! ~9 h
