Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 8 y, V) G1 G4 G" D( p6 o* y: N

! ?4 o9 r0 ^$ t+ N5 e1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
  q3 i5 M6 D; VHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
2 C5 U" C, D3 ~2 x: X8 `- M$ ?3 r- b( B" D$ G; N: x- ?
Many 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. % b9 M1 p( V! q4 b+ G

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
