High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria.

& I5 k+ ^; w) V$ R1 w2) 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.
6 P/ Q$ C0 v" Z8 l: L1 L' `; x+ M/ R& n$ f
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.

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.4 Z+ F0 G7 S& K" o; F; h' w5 Q
