Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.
2 l7 c! ]# n' v0 ]: v) J3 ~
7 |$ h5 d$ b% ?' O! l1 f  r0 CMany 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 V. C- l/ i+ T% [8 l* N/ B

A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
/ r1 G/ t! {$ V, B' u+ o5 Q3 B) n( Y; O; m4 d
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.; d# }0 V7 [  F% F) v
