A new study reveals that a full Spring cleaning burns calories, and you don’t have to even run on your treadmill! You can burn thousands of calories just cleaning your house, and it’s necessary to clean so you’re killing two birds with one stone. These are just a few of the things that you can do to burn calories:

- Vacuuming for one hour, you can burn around 238 calories
- Dusting for two hours can burn around 340 calories
- Emptying, cleaning, repacking cupboards for 4-5 hours can burn you around 952 calories
- Scrubbing the floor for an hour can burn you 258 calories
- Climbing up and down the stairs for 20 minutes, nearly 181 calories
- Cleaning windows for 3 hours, 612 calories

Health.com's list of good and bad foods for trying to fall asleep:
 

Good: Turkey. It has a chemical that can make people doze off in front of the TV after Thanksgiving dinner, as does milk. But, you’d have to have a lot of milk or turkey to have a major effect if you’re an insomniac.

Bad: Mountain Dew. Per 12 ounces, Mountain Dew can have up to 71 milligrams of caffeine. That’s the near the high limit of what the Food and Drug Administration even allows.

Good: Sweet potatoes. They’re like a sleeper’s dream. Not only do they provide sleep-promoting carbohydrates, they also contain muscle-relaxing potassium.

Bad: Curry. The heavy spices can keep you awake at night, and can also cause heartburn.

Good: Valerian Tea. It's one of the best foods for sleep. The root of the Valerian plant has been shown in some studies to speed the onset of sleep and improve sleep quality.

Bad: Chicken. It's one of the worst, in fact. Any type of protein is going to be counterproductive if consumed at night. Digestion is supposed to slow but with chicken, you digest more slowly.

Last Wednesday, when the Powerball jackpot was at $360 million, a woman in California was sure she'd won. She matched all of the numbers and the Powerball, but kept hearing reports that no winning tickets were sold. It turns out she bought her ticket 52 minutes AFTER the drawing, so it was for Saturday's Powerball drawing instead.

Tomorrow, we'll play Amateur Theater at 7:05, and have a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack of Side Effects for you to win if you can figure out what movie our scene is from! We'll also talk to our fashion and design expert, Paige Ronchetti, about how to dress for the office when it's really hot!

We played Fab Five this morning, and after a little help from some other people Joshua Miranda of Bolingbrook was able to knock down the remaining questions to win a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack of the new movie, Side Effects!

Which snack is worse at the movies from ivillage.com:

Popcorn vs. Nachos with Cheese

Answer: Nachos with Cheese is worse! Bright-orange artificial cheese that’s high in saturated fat is what you get with a serving of nachos. Instead, get a small popcorn without the fake ‘butter’ topping and you’ll get one serving of whole grains.

Hot Dog vs. Corn Dog

Answer: Hot Dog is worse. Either the hot dog or the corn dog will set you back about 200 to 300 calories. But typically, the coating on a corn dog is made from some type of corn, which is a whole grain, so it has slightly more nutritional value than the white bun. Just slightly...

Twizzlers vs. Junior Mints

Answer: Twizzlers! The Junior Mints have a tiny advantage over the Twizzlers because they are covered in some semblance of dark chocolate, and research has shown that mint flavoring curbs appetite, so you may not feel the need to eat the whole box.

Sweet Iced Tea vs. Lemonade

Answer: Lemonade is awful for you! The lemonade just doesn’t have anything to offer besides sugar. Iced tea at least provides some antioxidants from the tea leaves. An even better choice: Ask for unsweetened iced tea, which is increasingly available and won’t set you back any calories.

7^th Heaven lead singer Anthony Fedorov joined us for the final time to talk American Idol, and on last night's finale, Candace took the win over Kree! Last week, Anthony said he thought Kree would win because the country music vote is so strong, but he wanted Candace to win.
