' C5 H$ u2 B* n, tBased on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ' ]  ]% t( ~6 M

1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

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.
& {4 @- o7 A+ D' [- I$ Q+ Y: W) N9 r  d9 w: h9 ?# {
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. ( P7 z0 X; e" \8 }( b

, g9 E; j" q+ E9 i3 LA balance diet, and exercise regularly # J* f( y7 M% h  o

4 p0 V  v. e  [6 S; O4 ?3 \; M% s9 YEven though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.1 e. G2 Z+ B* V" A- l
' o* |3 H3 S0 j" n* I2 R+ N
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. . R2 _3 Q: N9 o5 E* r* r) d; ?
% ~1 X/ `$ T- m7 s- b1 N" R1 }
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.
