Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. 1 h, z; b; ~- O$ B& b

  J/ T: i* q# B$ D: J9 q8 L' b  v2) 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.; H8 _4 g* v5 |' I, W  U8 ]
) I% w7 Y' l) |2 u8 S7 a: l; i
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. ( p. H- u4 d. B! l

! u4 T5 V" I. z& z! x: jA balance diet, and exercise regularly
; \7 b- q- R% D/ Z0 M2 @1 R3 f1 }# z1 S* j+ l- m, L
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.

For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 5 l1 b# P( a6 l& c$ {

Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.) |9 e) I8 U8 m% C
