Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, / t! V) P0 l0 a3 [ " j4 c6 p; r5 u7 P% D1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! * \6 x3 U Q9 |1 w* F3 lHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 7 T5 }% r# e. A$ R- n

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. - l" C* ~ p8 s! i1 ?2 G2 t( J1 p/ B( E3 s$ ~; R
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.作者: singgeihot 時間: 2005-6-7 09:08 AM
However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind. $ ]" d" G" T3 l: R6 R2 ]
: e( |" a7 m' K4 M: g# JA balance diet, and exercise regularly 6 Y; O& b& w; J6 W' n: A% t* ~4 ~# F6 O9 v# i, i9 B& L+ O
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.4 F# }$ N$ o3 o/ u
