Bone broth is a wonderful, nourishing food that has been enjoyed by humans for centuries. It’s easy to make and very economical as well, which makes it all the more appealing as a meal-time staple. But with such great characteristics comes the inevitable question: “What are some frequently asked questions about bone broth?”

Well, here they are! Get redirected here for more asked questions. 

Can I put bones from restaurants/butcher shops in my stockpot?

No! Do not do this. Meat goes bad quickly when it’s left out at room temperature or heated up too much, and who knows how long those bones have been sitting around after being cut from an animal? Plus, there might be way too much bacteria growing on those bones to make drinking the resulting broth worth the risk.

Can I drink bone broth if I’m pregnant?

Yes! Bone broth is great for nursing mothers because it gives your baby all of the nutrients she would get from her mother’s milk, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, amino acids, glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate. It is very nourishing and completely safe to drink while you’re expecting.

Just make sure you use it in moderation so that your caloric intake doesn’t go up too much (which can cause an increase in birth weight).

Can I use my Instant Pot or pressure cooker to make stock/bone broth?

This one is pretty simple: no. Pressure cookers are designed to heat the liquid inside them quickly so that they can build up pressure and cook things in a shorter amount of time.

This causes the liquid to become hotter than it would be over an extended period, which can kill off the good bacteria in your bone broth. Bone broth made this way will not have all of the health benefits that are described above since some or most of the nutrients may have been killed during the process.

How much sodium is in bone broth?

Bone broth contains about 200mg per cup, which seems like a lot at first glance but isn’t too terrible when you compare it to other food sources. That’s because our blood contains about 4g of sodium total while there are roughly 5-6g in every cup of bone broth (with 1g coming from each half of the bouillon).

So if you’re eating a whole pot of bone broth, your sodium intake will stay about on par with what it would be if you ate something like chicken.

What vegetables can I put in my stock?

The sky’s the limit! You can use carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes – heck, why not go wild and throw in some tomatoes or zucchini? If veggies are growing in your garden that needs to be used up, why not toss them into the mix too?

The only thing to remember is that the more ingredients you use, the less flavorful (and nutritious) each component will be. It can also change the colour of broth from clear to brownish orange.

How long can I store my bone broth?

The broth should be refrigerated within two hours of cooking. If you plan on storing it for more than two days, pour it into an airtight container and make sure to keep it in the back of your fridge (the coldest part). Bones may start to dissolve after about five days, so throwing them away before that will ensure that your broth stays safe. 

Can I drink bone broth instead of water?

This is not recommended since drinking too much of any particular food can lead to an imbalance in the body. It’s best to drink eight glasses of water (or other liquids) per day instead. 

What kind of bones are used to make bone broth? 

Your basic stock/broth contains necks, knuckles, animal feet, tails and bones-and-a-little-meat cuts. You can also make “special” broths by using bones with more meat left on them – like chicken backs or wings – to make a more flavorful product.

The planning and organization of your garage are very easy if you follow these simple steps.

1) Remove everything from the garage.

2) Sort all the items in the garage into separate piles based on their type (e.g., mechanical equipment, lawn care equipment, yard tools, automotive supplies).

3) Pick up each item that isn’t sorted into one of these categories and determine whether to sell or keep it. If you decide to keep an item, put it back in its original pile; otherwise, throw it away. Items you might want to sell include:

1. a) Old magazines with no resale value  (or recycle them)
2. b) Old paint cans & related supplies (paint hardens over time, so if you keep old paint cans, they’ll probably be useless by now)
3. c) Old tools  (if they’re broken or don’t work…or even if they just look bad)
4. d) Damaged or rusted lawn equipment  (unless you have a sentimental attachment to an item that doesn’t work anymore–which is rare).
5. e) Garbage  (recycling items where possible is always ideal).

4) Organize the remaining items into their respective categories. To do this, follow one of these methods:

1. a) The “association” method, in which similar objects are grouped. For example, all shovels could go on the left side wall; all rakes on the right side wall; all weed whackers in the back. You can also organize items according to how often you use them (most-used tools on the bottom shelf, least-used on top).
2. b) A more involved method is to group like items into piles based on their size. Place large items at one end of the garage then work your way down (small, medium, large) until you get to your smallest item. If you’re having difficulty determining where an item goes, think about how it relates to something else in its pile–is there another “size” for this? Also, make sure everything fits without too much trouble (nothing should be sticking out of any shelves or protruding from beneath anything; nothing should be so tall that it falls over and spills its contents).

5) Now, organize the remaining items in alphabetical order. This step might be too precise for some people; however, keep in mind it will make this part of your organization much easier if you use a consistent naming system (e.g., paintbrushes = brush 1, brush 2, etc.).

6) Put everything back where it belongs. If possible, try to group like items together (i.e., all rakes could sit near each other; all scrapers could go on one shelf within easy reach).

7) Label shelves and storage containers (optional). You can also add labels to bins and boxes if you need detail because these objects tend to get misplaced more often than shelves and large items.

8) Now, take a look at your work! If you followed these steps exactly, everything should be where it should be and in its proper place. If that isn’t the case, go back to the beginning and redo your organization process until something fits.

9) Assess whether you can store anything else in this garage. For example, if you have a few old tires leftover from an auto project, do they fit on top of or beneath another item? Or, could you add another shelf somewhere to make more room for certain things? Make any necessary adjustments here before moving on!

10) Last but not least…if necessary, add additional lighting (e.g., can lights). Or, open up your blinds/curtains to let in natural light.

11) Enjoy your work!

Entrepreneurs that have decided to close their business for one reason or another may find themselves in a situation where they want to reinstate their company.

Closing a company is easy, but reinstating it requires additional steps, especially if it was closed for more than 5 years.

Many times, companies need to be reinstated after they have dissolved or been removed.

To reinstate a company you must file articles of incorporation with the state in which it was originally registered. If this is not possible, any other state where the company does business may be acceptable provided that the state has not revoked your right to do business there. Some states allow for online filings while others require more leg work on your part.

Once you have filled out all of the necessary forms and documents, sent off any processing fees required by your home state or all states where you will be filing, including an initial fee plus annual report fees for each state if applicable, you for approval from each State Board.

Keep in mind that while some states, upon approval of the initial filing, will allow you to file every year electronically through a third-party service, others make you prepare a full set of documents every time. This is why it is important to consider the cost-benefit analysis before choosing your home state for incorporation purposes.

When a company becomes defunct, it can be quite difficult to reinstate the company back to its former glory. And some companies just never manage to get out of the state of being dissolved and instead, they just simply fade away into obscurity as time progresses.

If you want to learn how to reinstate a company that has been dissolved in Texas, then keep reading this article for some helpful advice on what steps you need to take and what documents and forms you will require to do so.

If your company has been revoked by the state because of non-payment of taxes or other debts, you can pay these debts and get your license back. Visit the Secretary of State website for information on this process. If you failed to file an annual report within 90 days after the anniversary date of registration, your corporation will be dissolved automatically without any other official notice.

The on which you first missed the filing deadline is the actual anniversary date. If you know for a fact that your company was not dissolved, but it has been very long since you closed the business and now you want to reopen it or form another corporation under its name, you can find all the information associated with this business online by visiting the SOS website.

Here are three easy steps on how you can dissolve and reinstate a business:

1)    The first step is filing the appropriate form with the state; depending on where your company was located before it was disbanded, you may need to file the form with either the State or your particular local government.

2)    You will need to make sure that once your company was dissolved, it did not have any outstanding debts, taxes or legal issues that would require a financial judgment to be taken against it for the debt owed by the business to be settled in court.

3)   If no such debt exists then you can file a reinstatement document to bring your closed company back from being completely defunct and when you do so, this automatically erases all prior events which could have been liabilities against your business before its dissolution.

“Bone broth is the new green juice,” everyone is saying these days. But to get in on this magic elixir you have to make it right…

And unfortunately, most people are making it wrong. There is a lot of bad information out there circulating about bone broth and what ingredients are actually in the bone broth when you buy it at the store. Did you know that most boxed brands only contain 30% organic meat??? This article will tell you how to avoid common mistakes when making your own amazing homemade bone broth.

1) Using NOT ENOUGH BONES & TOO MUCH WATER

You need bones! I understand not everyone has access to or can afford organic, grass-fed beef bones all the time. But, if you can get your hands on these bones as often as possible please do so! I highly recommend having at least 4 lbs of bones per every 2 gallons of water you use to make your broth.

Too many people also make the mistake of using too much water and not enough bones. A good starting point is 2 gallons of filtered water for every 4-5 pounds of bones used.

2) Using ARTIFICIAL COOKING GRIDS

Cooking with artificial grids will never create the proper gelatinous bone broth consistency. The only way to create a jelly-like substance is by cooking over wood-based grids over an open flame for 24-48 hrs minimum depending on how much you are making.

You can also use a crockpot or Instapot on the “stew” or “meat/poultry” setting, but I have found that these appliances don’t always produce the same results.

3) Skipping THE MAIN EVENT: BROTH GELS!

If you want to make authentic bone broth, you MUST cook the bones long enough to release all of the valuable nutrients and minerals are hidden inside. This means allowing the broth to gel properly. If your broth doesn’t gel, it’s not done yet! 

4) adding INGREDIENTS BEFORE IS COMPLETE 

Adding vegetables and herbs before the broth has completed gelling will create a cloudy broth. The only ingredients that should be added at the end are salt and pepper. I prefer to add turmeric, black pepper, and Himalayan sea salt for their anti-inflammatory properties.

You can cook all of your vegetables in a separate pot while the broth is cooking if you would like to have them in there but don’t want your broth cloudy. The amount of time needed to cook vegetables will vary based on how big they are cut up into.

When adding ingredients that take longer than 5 hrs to cook (such as parsnips or potatoes) wait until 24 hours before turning off the flame so they are not overcooked/mushy when served with dinner!

4) HOMEMADE BROTH IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE STORE-BOUGHT ONES

This could not be further from the truth! The store-bought bone broths are often loaded with MSG, preservatives, and other chemicals that you do not want to be ingesting. I have found that my homemade broth always tastes better and I know exactly what ingredients are in it.

5) COOKING BROTH FOR TOO LONG WILL DESTROY NUTRIENTS

This is another myth that is, unfortunately, circulating. Yes, if you cook your broth for too long some of the nutrients will be destroyed. But, the benefits of bone broth far outweigh any minor losses of nutrients. If you are following a recipe correctly and cooking your broth for the correct amount of time, you will not have anything to worry about.

6) BOUILLON CUBES ARE THE SAME AS HOMEMADE BROTH

Bouillon cubes are loaded with MSG and other unhealthy chemicals. They are not the same as homemade broth.

7) ALL BROTH IS CREATED EQUAL

Not all broth is created equal. The store-bought broths often contain unhealthy ingredients and chemicals that you do not want to be ingesting. Homemade broth is made with love, and all of the ingredients are organic and natural.

8) I DON’T HAVE TIME TO MAKE MY BROTH

This is probably the most common excuse I hear for why someone doesn’t make their broth. The most common cooking time that I hear is 18-24 hours. But there are so many recipes out there for broth that have cooking times of 4, 6, 8, 10, even 12 hours! You can find a recipe based on your schedule and desired results.

If you are still not convinced it’s time to make your bone broth in the crockpot or slow cooker, and have a peek here.

Medical beds provide the best in comfort and support for patients while healing, especially if they are required to spend long hours on the bed. Many types of medical beds serve different purposes including adjustable beds, waterbeds, resuscitation beds, special application bedding systems, stretchers and treatment tables.

This article will focus specifically on adjustable beds. A medical adjustable bed has motorized components that allow it to be adjusted in several ways including electric head elevation, leg elevation and tilt (head-foot direction). It can also have a variety of other features such as zero gravity position or heat/massage options. All these adjustability features help with patient care by helping doctors monitor vital signs, ease a patient’s discomfort and help them to heal faster.

What is an adjustable medical bed?

An adjustable medical bed is a bed with the ability to be adjusted electronically by a therapist or caregiver from either the controls near the bed or from a remote control device. The mattress can be easily raised or lowered as required by the patient, it may also tilt for those who suffer from acid reflux. In addition, many models now come with pre-programmed settings which allow you to adjust your position without having to lift a finger.

Not only this but they are much easier to clean than standard beds, simply wipe down! It has been estimated that these kinds of beds shave minutes off recovery times and increase blood flow both of which are vital for speedy recoveries.

Adjustable beds are often used in medical care facilities such as nursing homes, physical therapy clinics and rehabilitation centres. They also tend to be popular choices at home due to the fact they can be adjusted by the patient with little or no assistance, unlike manually adjustable beds which require another person to adjust them.

Why use an adjustable bed?

One of the first things that doctors will do when prescribing a course of treatment is monitored their patient’s heart rate and blood pressure regularly. By using an electronic medicine bed however doctors suddenly have access to more information including what position the patient is resting in, whether or not they are restless or uncomfortable and if they need any further assistance during the night.

Standard hospital beds record a patients heart rate and blood pressure but they can’t monitor position, sleep patterns or even call for assistance when required.

What features should I look out for in an adjustable bed?

As this type of bed is favoured by many people recovering from illness or injury there are several features that you may want to consider before making the purchase. If you have limited mobility then you will want to choose an adjustable bed with some kind of remote control function which allows you to adjust the height, tilt and sometimes even pre-programmed massage strokes without leaving your chair.

For those who like to watch TV before sleeping then having one that tilts up slightly will help keep your neck in line with yours while still allowing you to keep your favourite shows close by. Reading before bed is also popular so you may want to consider one with a motorised side which can hold your book or magazine so that both hands are free for the page-turning!

Who should buy adjustable beds?

Anyone who finds themselves suffering from an illness, injury or long-term condition which means they spend longer than usual resting in bed would benefit from using an electric adjustable bed. Many people also like to use these types of beds simply because it allows them to rest comfortably without having to move too much, giving their body time to heal itself.

For those recovering from surgery, this can mean less pain and more sleep which will speed up the natural healing process. If you care for someone who is sick or injured at home then adjustable beds also make a great addition to any home care package as it means you can easily monitor and adjust their position without having to disturb or move them.
