7 L/ _$ `3 \9 RBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ! i& ~$ Q8 \" c: ~) O& _4 e$ ]% I( J3 |* M
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! # h2 ?& ^6 d2 S: K& Y
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. $ v9 P# @/ m( l8 T: J: d( [0 f! l( ~, j. g& N
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. 3 ?$ a; P; R u; I5 t j3 z3 K3 ]$ p- A/ N& J [( h
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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. 9 j$ I+ v; y0 C# P! |8 R+ v$ y |; o1 }
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 6 }, a: m" z k8 ^: A& s! Q$ L5 ^: y; c. V1 P q; z2 A
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.) a/ s& @& k$ r) H
/ Y! @4 W) n! h5 J7 V
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. & A# Q' ]2 T3 u! y) e% ^# D, F " n" c' B6 N; R8 S4 nTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.2 D3 p0 d' T- T2 c ]0 s! t
