You may have heard someone talk about bone broth or you saw it online and now you're wondering what all the craze is about. Bone broth has been named a superfood and for a good reason. It is packed with all kinds of nutrients that our bodies need to function properly. You can make your own or get it shipped to your front door all ready to go. However you do it, once you try bone broth and feel the benefits, you won't want to stop. Here are five health benefits of bone broth.

1: Immunity Boost

A benefit of bone broth that largely contributes to its popularity is the immunity boost it will provide for your body. When you're feeling sick there's nothing better than a bowl of hot chicken soup. You can instantly notice a change in how you feel and you can't ignore that sense of wellbeing. Bone broth will do just that and more. There are so many ways to consume bone broth so you can definitely find a method that suits you best so you can experience the amazing benefits it has to offer. You can make your own soup with a few ingredients like noodles, chicken, and your favorite vegetables or just season to taste and drink it on its own. There is an extremely high concentration of minerals in bone broth that give your immune system that extra kick to help fight off infections. There are a variety of bone broths out there that also come infused with herbs and spices that promote boosted immunity on top of what is already found in bone broth.

2: Stomach & Digestion

Bone broth can help with your stomach and digestion in many ways, however; the main proponent of these benefits is the incredible amount of natural gelatin that is found in it. As a part of the gelatin, glutamic acid helps promote a healthier mucosal lining in the stomach that helps with digestion. Gelatin also binds with water and helps increase the production of gastric juices, helping to move food through the digestive system.

3: Weight Loss

If you're on a mission to lose some weight, look no further than bone broth. Incorporating bone broth into your daily nutrition will boost your metabolism and give you more energy. You can drink it by itself for a quick and nutritious snack, or completely revamp your home cooked meals by adding in your favorite bone broth. The reason it is such a good tool for weight loss is because it will keep you full and energized for hours. For best results it is recommended that you drink a good amount of bone broth everyday in the morning and at night.

4: Skin & Hair

Youthful skin and shiny hair. Doesn't that sound amazing? Well, you can experience both of these benefits by simply trying bone broth and incorporating it into your daily nutrition. The main component found in bone broth that is going to revitalize your skin and hair is the bountiful amount of collagen. Collagen is necessary for our bodies to be able to produce connective tissues that enhance the elasticity, smoothness and moisture of skin for example to keep you looking youthful and glowing.

5: Muscles & Joints

It's genius! Receiving benefits for your muscles and joints by consuming a liquid derived from the bones of other animals. Bone broth provides the body with exactly what your muscles and joints need. Things like glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and gelatin which help support joint flexibility. The properties in bone broth also help to restore cartilage and connective tissues keeping your joints restored, lubricated and moving smoothly.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
