Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,
" U5 w7 `; E% ^/ x, ^) O5 c7 m# y5 E% w2 x0 E0 M
1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!
: J" S/ b9 c0 ]1 U- N4 Q$ e* p) H7 gHigh-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. ( `6 Y2 a: H( t5 |1 d5 S1 a

7 |8 S, j+ C+ z7 G7 }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.
" S$ ^! O. Z5 P
0 o1 G2 f9 m* m& [& nMany 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.
% k2 j5 v  Q/ ^: }: n9 M: S( E5 ?+ i0 V& p# d7 o6 s
A balance diet, and exercise regularly

Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
, x# C1 h" b6 ?, u
& c" H( K5 @# yFor example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 0 u9 u; B  A# Z) c: T1 v

; `& i7 X7 i* N, @" z, [9 bTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.; V! m4 N4 x& h" K; z1 E
