After doing an ultrasound of my heart, my doctor determined that I didn’t have heart failure or heart disease. However, I was diagnosed with bradycardia, which means my heart rate is slower than 60 beats per minute, lower than what’s considered typical (between 60 and 100 beats per minute), according to the American Heart Association. When my body hasn’t absorbed enough salt or water, my heart rate drops even more, my cardiologist explained—and that prompts the fainting.1I learned that bradycardia can cause weakness, dizziness, confusion, fainting, unusually intense fatigue during exercise, and chest pain. As a competitive athlete who continues…

Trying to lose weight is a challenge in and of itself. One of the most important first steps is to reevaluate your diet and potentially eliminate (or cut back on) some of the more indulgent foods you love most. For instance, if cheeseburgers are one of your favorite meals to splurge on, you’re likely wondering, “How many calories are in a cheeseburger?” and, “Can I treat myself to a cheeseburger?

High-resolution image showing senescent cells in bone that drive osteoporosis. Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new high-resolution, analytical technique to identify the rare senescent bone cells that are known to drive osteoporosis. Senescent cells are malfunctioning cells that build up as people age or as the result of chronic diseases. Once these cells form, they can contribute to developing diseases and consequences of aging. This new method, detailed in a paper published in Nature Communications, will enable scientists to better target experimental anti-aging drugs at the cellular level, advancing efforts to find treatments for osteoporosis and other aging-related diseases.
