Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, & u/ k2 R: l# j9 j; h
8 _  @" `; \- y
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
  E* j  u4 n/ ~' ?2 s5 fHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
% e4 c8 o, g. d7 {
, `1 W; ~: P! s" i2) 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.
7 N8 o) \, J5 i: \
( N' o% D( f5 X1 ~) F7 o" jMany 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. 3 G" u$ S+ w% _' x. m4 ]. b

9 L; V5 F9 W, v1 g2 hA balance diet, and exercise regularly

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. ; s* i1 Z: {3 m$ L

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