Earlier this month on April 4th, we celebrated National Carrot Day. We’re not sure who makes these days up, but it was a great excuse for us to celebrate our delicious broths - all of which contain carrots - and some of our recipes which contain added carrot.

Today, John, my husband is going into hospital to have a much over due knee replacement. This is the consequence of years of sport, mainly football and skiing plus a little bit of general ‘wear and tear’ due to nothing but age!

14th February - the official celebratory day of romance and love. In many countries across the world, loved ones are exchanging gifts of chocolate, flowers, or something a little more personal. Loving, and feeling loved is an essential part of our social make up, but what about loving ourselves?

There are a number of ways we can take care of ourselves, a good nights sleep, regular exercise, time for ourselves to take a walk, read a book, have a long bath, meditate, or practise some yoga etc. However, a good diet is absolutely crucial for our health and well being, but in order to benefit from good food you need a healthy gut, a gut that is able to absorb good food and that is where we at Osius Bone Broth can help you. Look after your gut and it will look after you!

It’s the end of January. Festive lights and decorations have come down, and the scales have, no doubt, gone up a little bit. After the indulgence of the festive period, over a third of us make it our New Year’s Resolution to ‘eat healthily’. So what better month is there for Veganuary to fall? Whilst veganism isn’t necessarily synonymous with healthy eating, the diet and lifestyle is made up of a colourful range of fruit, vegetables, beans, pulses, and other plant-based foods, making it easy to enjoy nutritious meals.

Just how and why are monkeys being exploited for the harvest of coconuts? 

Turmeric is a spice that has grown in popularity and interest over the last few years, though it has been revered as a therapeutic spice for over 4000 years, namely in India and the Asian subcontinental culture. Its name means “blessing of the earth” and it has many remarkable therapeutic qualities.

Collagen is an important fibrous protein found in connective tissue. As well as being in our bones and joints, it’s a huge part of our skin and makes up 30% of the human body’s proteins.
