* G$ G7 A! }( d  EBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
* w. D1 z, g6 i4 O% r3 t% ~4 M8 N0 s) D5 U# O. o7 k( Z
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!! " X3 J9 Q" h- `5 E" W& P
High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.   B. {: V, I9 V

& ^0 I- A# Y+ m! b  W3 ]3 P, f0 S2) 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., @/ B( m2 z; a: P% m

7 x0 T6 K& i# f! @0 T: BMany 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. 0 L( ~9 C8 I1 J  W7 Z' }/ ]) y
2 A$ B, M$ P( |3 _. c4 V' e& `* j
A balance diet, and exercise regularly , O0 P7 D* f! D! V; Y2 d2 c
7 F; {2 l8 n( N8 o% l6 K; p; @  p
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
+ S; J  X+ R; p8 a( b3 x. M, G7 S. ?6 |& f- U4 W6 f7 j: a3 w
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning.
$ Q% l1 ?# k0 ^: P' t/ j; r+ h9 g6 L' ]0 j7 G1 W7 a# U" v
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
