Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ) ~$ B$ l  A# A  q) m, g$ |7 P
5 y) Z* c, |5 J8 @9 \- k2 b# F
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 2 X! r. l9 z# l& U; ~" M
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

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.
; O2 A/ O! `- e9 x1 I+ e8 {# O* o$ v& K0 Y" l0 E4 B: 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.
1 R) @( u, Y  O  C- i; _, a8 ?) ~8 Z. L# O
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

6 G3 C1 @2 q! p( l4 J

  U9 e: D& T8 G0 {9 M; W
0 E2 w1 ^5 j7 A! t9 YTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
