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.
