% {& b& ]3 d; U- R7 Y$ zBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 M0 `% @' b' {& B" N

, |+ ]5 s3 E4 o# ~. e1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! # }4 p5 n" X% L
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

7 f# e0 I3 u4 F7 Q% X2) 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.1 @6 T; D9 y# u0 y+ U

: J  Z! C% Z' m5 \5 f0 ^& aMany 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. & |5 R& m# H- s7 n
- `* Q: I( S; w1 F9 U
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.5 v8 x) f4 h/ d9 w- g9 R7 C% g2 Q

! p  P4 B/ v  DFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.* D0 |# M+ g* y) x
