Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two, ) G1 ]2 z* r% q" V' z

$ A* j3 c1 s' v! I) s6 C1) BLADDER INFECTION? DRINK CRANBERRY JUICE!!!!

5 c- p) U, K$ [" v: ^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.; M7 d5 x2 {) i+ ?
& \0 w7 I$ Q) j7 J" ~
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. - T9 I1 D2 G: Y
0 e  w" M+ l7 E0 Z, `6 L& B
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
2 L3 S+ Z$ C" n! E- K- Z7 }+ @& @5 ^* B; u% h
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
* u+ Z+ L& ?4 ~" ?9 g2 a+ _2 f5 o/ Q
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. 5 W3 E2 `+ \. L# c- x$ k+ u

$ h! [. |) t) gTherefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.  g( b( h2 J# a" I" e& F
