Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / x1 Z ?4 o q( R$ h1 C1 x( T

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 9 j6 m7 ?$ A8 w" l& E

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.$ Q! T5 ?2 E# Z' a8 _" i
* i1 s; x+ J/ L1 A' Q" O' A5 ?# D
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. ( E& M9 T1 L$ _) s

A balance diet, and exercise regularly * S0 P' x; Z: {1 L/ }

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
$ W6 G4 g% `2 B) R0 r& T5 l+ _1 j
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. & X. S. V: e1 {
1 n4 `+ K# `; k- l, g1 D
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
