Daily
Dose
Now...
Taking off the pounds with tea, using orange juice to
off-set stress, and the reason some men only hear half
of what you say. Listen up, guys, it's time for today's
Daily Dose.
Men listen with only half a brain. Most women know it
and now a
new study confirms it. Brain scans showed that men
listen mostly with the left sides of their brains. Women
use both sides. Just one more example of the difference
between men and women.
Cold
and flu season is in full swing. Lots of people find relief
with herbal remedies like Echinacea. But should pregnant
women take it? A
new study finds using Echinacea during pregnancy does
not increase the risk for birth defects. But always talk
to your doctor before taking any herbal supplements.
Feeling
stressed out? Make sure you get plenty of
vitamin C. It can reduce stress hormones and keep
you from getting sick during stressful times.
And
finally, here's a simple tip to help you lose weight.
Drink green tea. Researchers speculate green tea contains
a substance that helps burn fat. So go ahead... Drink
up!
And that's today's Daily Dose.
