Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,   Y; |! y4 F% I( K& y
( Y! y/ G7 |8 Z- r" m
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

) c9 Y9 N7 ~0 p0 s# A8 V2) 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.( A1 @2 @* G$ l. I

; F7 o/ |* A* G* @6 t3 E+ j0 ~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.
* L, i, J7 }5 A# A4 i
: ~6 r5 v: t  G5 l8 RA balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

# t6 W' }) U/ k- o' D& I% `+ pFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
6 A& N2 Z4 @/ R3 u6 ^0 J6 x: i8 ]. z" X' y& r) f1 a
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
