Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

# v' G2 W9 @( m5 F3 O2) 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.
5 R. \6 y3 T$ n1 O
) i8 ?0 {9 }0 P; i  ]* \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.
" Y$ M  |% e% ]  o' ]7 ?' O& v% |2 r# T+ Z: u6 X
A balance diet, and exercise regularly ' y, Q% ]8 i: R( R: U. w' s

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.. K+ y+ ]& E$ B- U& y

' P3 [$ V4 G" ~# y! w9 @7 a, g0 m6 aTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.9 h1 r( _" u, j% o  ~8 L8 p
