Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ' c, s1 B' T! l; b6 m% y
1 Q% z, @* y# o5 n
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ! P6 C# ~. L6 M3 F( v
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
. A3 j  b/ x: b; Q8 \$ n& h# S- ~* x# q5 v
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.! L( u. }( v' g1 L# N: x- T- D

! \- g# ?" b2 {6 t/ s. _% f2 p! eMany 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.
: S$ k0 c! [$ _- G+ Z' P/ _" t9 r9 x8 c; u+ @; Z# {6 S) C
A balance diet, and exercise regularly # s3 j  Y* t4 H' R1 t0 I6 _

- Y- A% h& i9 u6 R7 }% tEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you., S" \8 ?, u7 Z9 T' y
: Z& T; F' a% m4 a; K' b
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 9 o  x6 j5 X) j! a  Q: `% q
8 D3 @0 _1 {4 m; z% Q* X2 m( [1 B
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
