Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
- i* q8 A( }6 [8 a9 Z
' W! D, u3 Z9 S1 P* Z1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! ) x* K, S0 `8 P) D7 G; @3 _

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 }  t/ [  R% X2 A3 u3 [( r
: E5 N$ `) Q4 E7 a. AMany 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. % y: v+ g' b/ R+ y7 h
" [$ b9 f, ?* ^8 B2 p
A balance diet, and exercise regularly & h4 b6 _; V- v9 a1 C

, N3 C! E" z* @/ m& dEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.  ~6 |) |. F! g8 w) b2 z4 V

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 9 e2 ^+ X2 S' `7 z/ |% D" ~

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
