Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, $ P  O. E4 X4 g" u
! t2 ^7 W( ~7 G" [
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
2 m1 R" n  b; vHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.
2 H5 b' z( b: {4 f/ O# Z% p! R# {
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.5 e- N, j# E4 ]' I

0 @* ]" K- b, k+ `/ \; B: MMany 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. 9 D) a3 a/ [  M4 L% G

A balance diet, and exercise regularly , r# o( e4 n" F" d

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.4 U. _9 i6 g/ I- J

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
