Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
7 t& E- Y3 @. ?: T' f: Z6 v! ~; m8 ]0 m- z' z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! % F5 [% Z( \; M9 r5 i/ F+ v
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ; ?- L/ d/ z) e& Z6 r2 }
; I& I6 w$ @- q( m
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 }7 M$ o* P  ~) k8 i) w) z. Y+ `6 z) [$ l
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. 5 l% z0 m! C7 ^4 g) Y
% G* c" ]5 E$ s: r8 |1 b
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ) q8 z4 J& m# W1 \0 b7 I( R

5 }! S1 i+ a1 K- \. S) a: \- _Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.9 C* [: w% P$ ^8 D+ [

/ y" n  ^( S- F' B) y( ?; ZFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. : x% a% c, R  h" ^% N. H

: F' e( f& z) o3 h' T$ CTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
