At just five years old, Ryder Wells from North Carolina has endured unimaginable challenges. In 2015, while visiting family for Thanksgiving, Ryder was brutally attacked by two 100-pound rottweilers at just 21 months old. The attack left him with severe injuries, including the loss of half his face, crushed teeth, a broken arm, and a punctured lung.

Defying the odds, Ryder survived and has since undergone around 50 surgeries. However, instead of receiving universal admiration for his resilience, he often faces cruel remarks and stares. His mother, Brittany, recalls heartbreaking moments, like children calling him a “monster” at the park.

Despite these challenges, Ryder’s strength and determination inspire those who know his story.

Most of us are well aware that honey can be used to fight colds and moisturize our skin, but we may not be aware that scientists call it a superfood because of the many other properties it has that you may have never heard of.

Combining it with food is tasty and healthy but if you consume just a spoonful of it before bed and let your body absorb all its goodness at night, you will be surprised by the wonders you’ll start seeing in your body.We’ve put together a “need-to-know” list of things that this superfood can do for your body at night.

Honey contains a nutrient called tryptophan, a hormone that helps you relax and gives your body the signal that “it’s time to go to bed.” Though our body needs this amino acid, it doesn’t produce it naturally, and we can obtain it through our diet consuming products like honey.

Sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night. This happens because, during our sleep, our brain needs a substance called glycogen and induces the adrenal glands located in the kidneys to eject adrenaline and cortisol, which won’t let you sleep. Luckily, honey contains glycogen, so consuming it before sleep will help you avoid that adrenaline rush and ensure a good night’s sleep.

2. It’ll help lower your blood pressure.

Since high blood pressure is a factor that contributes to the significant risk of heart disease, keeping it moderate and stable is a good measure to avoid heart complications. Honey contains antioxidant compounds that have been shown to reduce blood pressure, making a spoonful of honey at night a good way to prevent high blood pressure.

3. You will lower your triglycerides.

Triglycerides are a type of fat present in blood. A high level of triglycerides means a risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. Fortunately, honey is linked to diminishing the level of triglycerides in your body. They transform them into good allies that cleanse your blood of unnecessary fat.

It was a warm afternoon, and a neighbor had invited me over for a casual barbecue. My husband was out of the country for work, so I figured it would be nice to get out and enjoy the day.

The backyard was lively, filled with laughter and the smell of grilled food. The garden was beautiful, with a large fountain at its center, so I decided to take a quick picture to send to my husband—just a small way to share the moment with him while he was away.

But his response came back almost immediately, and it wasn’t what I expected.

I received a cold message from my husband: “Where are you?”

“At the barbecue, remember?” I replied, confused.

He asked, “That’s not our neighborhood. That’s his house, isn’t it?”

I realized too late that the backyard in the photo was my ex-boyfriend’s house. My husband had visited it with me before, and the details—the fountain, the garden—were too familiar.

“No, it’s not what you think,” I texted, but he didn’t believe me. His final message: “When I get back, we need to talk. I don’t think I can do this anymore.”
