The Battery in Charleston, South Carolina, is a historic waterfront park with a 2.5-mile stretch of land originally used for military defense. Biking along The Battery provides a unique way to explore the city, offering stunning views of the Charleston Harbor, Cooper River, and iconic landmarks. The area is rich in history, featuring sites like Fort Sumter and the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon.

She wears sunglasses and a white jacket, with the sun shining brightly behind her, creating a halo effect. In the background, there are trees and a modern building, along with a small boat docked nearby.

Summer brings enjoyable outdoor activities but also potential eye issues. Protect your eyes during boating, beach walks, and swimming with these tips:

Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Surrounding the laptop are various holographic data displays, including charts, graphs, and digital elements, suggesting a futuristic interaction between human and artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the healthcare industry through various applications, including diagnosis, drug discovery, personalized medicine, telehealth, and administration. AI improves accuracy, efficiency, and patient care. It aids in early disease detection, develops personalized treatment plans, and enhances the patient experience through telehealth platforms and chatbots.

Can CBD Help You Sleep?

Her long hair is gently spread out, and she appears serene, with her hands resting on her abdomen. The sunlight casts a soft glow, enhancing the tranquil and dreamy atmosphere of the scene.

Adequate sleep is crucial for physical and mental well-being. CBD, a non-psychoactive compound from the cannabis plant, shows promise in improving sleep. Studies suggest it may reduce sleep onset time and enhance sleep quality, particularly benefiting those with PTSD. CBD's interaction with the endocannabinoid system, potential anti-inflammatory effects, and anxiety reduction are mechanisms explored.
