Hunan cuisine shares many commonalities with its close, more well-known cousin, Szechwan cooking, Both cuisines originate in the Western region of China. The climate there is sub-tropical humid and warm enough to encourage the use of fiery spices to help cool the body, and to require high spicing of food as a preservative. With similar climate, the two regions also share many ingredients rice is a major staple in both diets, and chili peppers are an important part of most dishes. The two styles of regional cuisine are similar enough that many restaurants and cookbooks lump them together under Western Chinese cooking or simple refer to both as Szechwan cuisine. There are some important differences, though. Hunan cooking is, for one thing, even more fiery than most Szechwan dishes. Szechwan dishes often include chili paste for rubbing into meats, or including in sauce. Hunan chefs include the entire dried chili pepper, with its intensely spicy seeds and rind.

I m not going to try and give a medical definition here of bipolar disorder. There are plenty of those around on the internet if you care to do a search. I am simply going to give you my opinion, based on my experience. Bipolar disorder was formerly known as manic depression and this term for the disorder is still used in some quarters today. Bipolar disorder, as the name suggests, involves mood swings between depression and elevation plus all points in between. It does not only affect your mood however. It can affect your behaviour, your thought patterns, sleep patterns and feelings. These affects may be minor or major, but the effects of bipolar disorder in whatever its form require management and treatment.

No-one has yet identified specifically what or how bipolar is caused, but the most common suggestions are that it is something to do...

Great achievers have one thing in common - they tap into the potential of the mind. There is much truth to the old adage, you can if you think you can. You may have heard it said that we only use about ten percent of our brain power. This statement has been proved untrue, but still finds its way into claims for psychics and hypnotists. The fact is, we use 100 percent of the brain for various functions. Still, by learning to think more effectively, we can change stubborn habits and attain dreams. There is, therefore, in a sense an untapped resource in our minds. Many students of the mind believe that our minds are made up of a conscious part and a subconscious part. In the conscious part, changing negative thought patterns into positive ones has brought happiness and success to many. To tap into the potential of the subconscious part requires techniques like self-hypnosis and meditation. Of course, a certain amount of controversy surrounds techniques like self-hypnosis.
