Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ; _; O. Y3 s. q4 b& |/ \. E
$ G6 [2 D- _7 k+ m6 i; d
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
. @% Z/ W, |( k9 gHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ' R8 T& E) Q. m0 c  [

/ q* P1 f& M  n+ 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.
* F/ b- X0 F6 ^( e) \
# C' L! n# E  w0 C2 K; AMany 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. 7 J8 l1 _2 Q4 I4 j

0 f$ i3 G$ [# m7 |* j7 vA balance diet, and exercise regularly
& R& O( G+ M# P' e: O" @/ r; _1 I4 F0 q1 U7 P8 P8 P
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you." E# w# M% `- W

For 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.4 ^9 G* v1 |( F0 n8 e
