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

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

4 R3 Y( ~9 w! C2) 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.
: u, O+ ?& ?) X4 g% y! p$ `* [1 x6 Y: }
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. $ V& \+ @4 `3 x4 s# o7 B8 l

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.4 w* y0 Z& i8 s8 r8 s$ I/ }  Q8 x
