+ f& n% q2 M* L6 yBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, & ?1 k9 U$ x1 o* R7 {- V
7 ]" a# G, O% H
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
3 m5 a) Z$ k. sHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. * c% m6 J* F! ~5 D- A

( l  M9 O: a* w7 N5 Y4 E2) 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.& I$ I: i: _9 {* h0 S# C3 G

9 r& M% f! z7 b- ?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.
1 B: D' k0 ?- X% K
8 v3 ~! I, k* e# |+ W) l8 d& E6 BA balance diet, and exercise regularly
9 g+ [- P: L  h/ S% [  b& w# f8 G7 ^* C6 Y$ j
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.8 t1 Q+ `6 G0 y! c; h5 B; x+ q
% B* _; I2 `% Q+ \2 F
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
  G  L6 w2 w! {- L. l0 z
2 G7 M/ d* e; A2 j3 WTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
