    TELEPHONE
    January 14, 1878 - United Kingdom

    The first demonstration of Alexander Graham Bell's telephone to Queen Victoria at her Osborne House estate on the Isle of Wight. Bell had patented the telephone in 1876, and in 1877, Bell had come to England for his honeymoon, and spent time on business. He had demonstrated his device to telegraph engineers and given lectures to scientists. When the Queen saw his telephone, she was much impressed, and ordered a private line to be laid between Osborne House, on the Isle of Wight, and Buckingham Palace.

    CESAREAN SECTION
    January 14, 1794 - Edom, VA, U.S.A.

    Elizabeth Hog Bennett became the first woman in the U.S. to successfully give birth to a child by a Cesarean section. Her husband, Dr. Jessee Bennett of Edom, VA., performed the operation, though he had no anesthetic to give her. Another local doctor who he asked for assistance declined, citing excessive risk. In his place, he enlisted the help of two field hands to hold the mother on a wooden table. Whereas this operation was the first of its kind in the U.S., the history of the Cesarean operation has been traced as far back as ancient Chinese etchings that depict the procedure on apparently living women. Roman law under Julius Caesar decreed that all women who were dead or dying must be cut open to save the child.

Many people want to learn how to lose weight naturally. There is new interest in finding ways to help the body help itself without the use of harsh drugs and pre-packaged programs.

There are a few examples of how to lose weight naturally that are common sense. People who eat breakfast usually eat less during the day. Make it a high fiber and low fat breakfast, and you have made it more natural. Drinking water is also good for dieters, as everyone knows, but you may need more than 64 ounces (some studies seem to contradict this, but generally, more water is better).

Then there's your choice of foods. For natural weight loss, one place to start is with foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. You should eat fruits and vegetables in variety and abundance. Generally, whole grains are better than "refined" anything, but be sure to check the label for other "non-natural" additives like high-fructose corn syrup.

Other methods of losing weight naturally are not well known outside of "alternate health" circles. For example, some studies show that dieting can slow the functioning of the thyroid gland in some people. Sea vegetables such as kelp, which are rich in iodine, can correct this problem.

For those learning how to lose weight naturally, there are many herbs and supplements to help. According to the latest research, three of them “St. John's Wort, 5-HTP, and evening primrose oil“ signal the production and release of serotonin. This suppresses the appetite and lifts the mood.

Some supplements that enhance metabolism are L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine, L-Tyrosine, and L-Phenylalanine. Your metabolism will also be boosted by cayenne, mustard, ginger, or horseradish. The key here is natural herbs, spices and supplements, not chemically-engineered ones (read the label!).

Speaking of supplements, there are several that, according to some studies, can promote increased health and functioning of the liver, which plays a major role in metabolizing fat. You can help detoxify the with bee pollen and sarsaparilla, and milk thistle extract has been shown to renew liver cells.

No matter which natural weight loss program you follow, one common ingredient to be avoided is sugar. Sugar causes a rapid production of insulin that lead to fat storage. If you find yourself craving sweets, a natural alternative is the herb gymnema sylvestre, which, when placed in the mouth, reduces the taste of sugar. Chromium can also improve the way insulin works in your body and help control blood sugar.

When you're looking for ideas on how to lose weight naturally, be sure to look beyond diet. For example, how much stress are you experiencing daily? Stress triggers a release of adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. These hormones cause your body to send all the fuel into storage. That means more fat. You can stop this process by dealing with the stress “ either by eliminating the cause(s) or finding coping strategies.

As with any weight loss program, consult with your doctor. In addition to practical guidelines to follow, he or she may be able to recommend a good nutritionist who can help you in your quest to lose weight naturally.
