5 |) i+ b! w" Y0 u1 nBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
+ i1 {. {+ {$ P$ V( Z7 Q1 Y0 s9 R1 n/ X/ ?, T
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
# M3 `# R/ `+ U) H" L# v' SHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. $ i* h% C, ~! d1 Z

1 m4 i% ]" h; Z3 S( u5 y! P! {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.
- X0 h7 R* X6 Q8 A8 D: n: |2 y' I; v& W5 U  W
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. / G" y8 S2 r' R5 M! e
. k0 r1 |3 Y! P
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 5 v7 C" C) K% @4 R

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.5 W3 D8 D9 Q8 u0 G5 s- o" d8 u( q+ V# N
& x6 P7 r- z; _( r9 f5 z# A/ F
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
* }: ?- i' T9 h) x/ }* ^3 S' x$ c* o6 K7 \
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
