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!

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