Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
) c; I7 Z0 y$ S' D: w0 I* e; P" ?3 C8 L9 ]
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 0 d* X1 b! D  \
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.   W- Q$ a+ k6 ^1 |; H
* v  r$ k$ D! q; T) u
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.7 M' h- i9 v5 I! ?, \" S

( u$ s0 ~) I$ a" w2 M( z% ?/ }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.
5 R9 E( g( |# ?# V, u% Q; j+ p

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.  _9 r' o% w! I9 U# i$ P

  v% n' e& I+ `+ s4 kFor 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.
