6 ?' B; w1 T% L% ?$ h2 Y1 oBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

  W, u# k; l* d4 |  M' |! X1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! & e$ s$ @+ M8 F* I
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. / m) E" d- n7 C9 x$ z
* a7 _2 }; I# ]+ y) g' A' M
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.! w1 @6 R& x# l3 F

' V! z6 U* E$ L5 \; @$ |5 HMany 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. / F9 x8 a; |$ S6 e; \0 B; I

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

' i. ~+ g+ D& M* e) h$ A. fEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
