; ^, ~; F, x3 p* d* b + d8 ^& }' A# ]1 w/ W" ~8 SBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 1 @5 c- }/ }1 ?. i
4 @8 s& J& Q: r3 t' W1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 9 q1 `0 F3 L8 E* uHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. - m' w1 p. f$ @1 c F. b& l x+ N! C 4 _ N0 Y( p5 d( O: j2) 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.3 u) P7 y+ y( l/ h! ~0 R
4 [. p# o# n7 J& yMany 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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. 4 ~8 l/ I' D4 q& f5 \ ' m$ i1 b' [' L9 S y- jA balance diet, and exercise regularly 6 |2 p' i1 D" S7 u9 _$ M" Z/ m* h. e5 u7 `: d
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you. . q( e9 L9 g3 M6 E& M 4 Z! V4 `8 @4 X* ?For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 6 F$ T3 _0 e7 ?" N( [
/ m% N7 h% u2 \4 Z1 z( ~8 STherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health. ; n5 b4 c+ @; v$ T- K. |0 d& k! m5 M0 N# L
