1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
/ y: T/ K) Q; w" ?. n# |/ t* vHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
/ {' Z5 e6 {( H
! U) `( \, H) j) E- w* x5 P2) 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.9 ~1 A3 B# Y- T! B( U) K

) g, y* ?$ \- @5 KMany 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 B3 g: Q. d8 p. V8 R7 j' a3 H( b( o- ]; ?6 o* _/ c/ @
A balance diet, and exercise regularly . r: t9 y2 q4 q, Z3 j
