' x3 d8 l3 Q" M% M, x# @$ S
9 H$ B$ l+ b7 A% eBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, * P1 a# z! f$ _& T
2 N, b5 W( ]3 @# U
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 3 |9 T$ d, j3 P: G( x
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( P6 j( d3 C$ c6 ]& @
3 K: P+ N8 W  ?' T/ ]
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.
9 z- m1 m# c- w% h1 e
# k' |. e9 }3 ~2 ~7 hMany 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. ( F/ @' R( v6 {; R* c7 h
  J9 E5 J6 M& K$ O1 Z, x) `. l
A balance diet, and exercise regularly 2 m( _# k3 u7 f2 ?7 [

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.7 N' O5 q; h- U. @- @5 |) d

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
' Q* ?. \2 ~/ {& P2 _9 l+ R; i$ m2 R/ H: K
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
