Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ! h/ J5 i6 e: A

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( Q4 K$ b" T! [

8 z7 H9 C" \* i1 \/ V% }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.
) m# G1 t. J$ y1 c( S# c* c% H' H" R, [! c( L4 T
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.   o( e$ O1 J+ E4 D  w) x# X- H
4 R& U' e& s0 b0 E9 a
A 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., a. @8 k% @) o4 E; }) {
; A# [8 X6 L% ]2 n5 z& @& I6 ?
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
! N; h& h" h) a& A: C0 t0 y3 b% N: v5 F
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
