Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, " r7 |* `  T! ~0 M3 g; ]7 x
% X; |0 B! P, U# F2 d1 j! u
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! 3 g  J' b/ y9 N6 B
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

2 I2 r- q8 e) }( V. L2) 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.
' j; P  E6 |# l; `% _5 C, H9 R5 V( d; [8 k0 u" L9 v
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.
! a/ V8 y+ a. u- I# a6 W8 ]% Q1 F' t
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
: v! z4 S6 S' e5 Z$ F2 |+ @( G( @3 J6 J% c8 B
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
2 E& }0 v% P% X% V5 E& f$ Y2 J' x' E0 G3 \0 [' c/ a2 W
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 8 R# L1 t) R1 j# j  p

; p  X1 x1 ~$ H3 z3 j# xTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
