Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, 6 @4 D G) U9 h5 _+ _" ]2 l$ Y. i, L n* G% q! n+ Z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! * Q- W" |6 v+ r! C/ a" ` ^5 p( J
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. E8 u9 ]& {' u% }3 Y- M) W5 I6 M$ x) k* P+ w- `, C3 C% p
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." n8 p" {, I' `, p
5 S ^9 t. D& d5 cMany 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. 7 `$ ^/ p7 }8 {: F 3 s/ Z& P( L( B8 P. [A balance diet, and exercise regularly 7 _9 ?) X6 l: X+ Z4 X" l; x6 [* z; R9 z5 h- g/ {4 E- C' a% y
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you. 3 J# q% w% |/ u' f0 L3 k8 u \; W5 `* T, C, u
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. % g+ y2 ^0 ^3 @+ Q' Z( r* k

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health. h1 u3 ~ T+ l: m ! p+ o" j9 J2 D[ Last edited by singgeihot on 2005-6-7 at 09:14 AM ]
