    PAVED ROAD CROSSES US
    December 13, 1913 - Lincoln Highway, America, U.S.A.

    The Lincoln Highway, the first improved coast-to-coast highway in America, had its first section named in New Jersey, between Jersey City and Newark. What had been known as the Jersey City Plank Road for over 100 years was rededicated as the Essex-Hudson Lincoln Highway after having been reconstructed as a boulevard 100-ft wide overall at a cost of $1,250,000. It was bordered by street lights and 10-ft wide sidewalks on each side. The traffic surfaces were of brick and concrete. Of its cost, $500,000 had been spend on its bridges. The new name for the road was adopted at the request of the Associated Automobile Clubs of New Jersey and the Newark Motor Club. The transcontinental project was guided by the Lincoln Highway Association, formed 1 Jul 1913.

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.
