10 MINUTES A DAY TO STRONGER MUSCLES AND BONE! Uses the same simple

techniques astronauts do to keep fit in space.

Each year over 300,000 women suffer a hip fracture brought on by

osteoporosis. Within a year, one in five will die. Fortunately, brittle

bones are an avoidable part of aging. In fact, you can slow bone

deterioration -- and even reverse it if it's already started -- with a

remarkable new invention.

How to avoid a hysterectomy - and other invasive procedures

If you have severe abdominal and leg pain, excessive menstrual bleeding,

and bloating, they could be caused by uterine fibroids. And while these

tumors aren't cancerous, they can be uncomfortable enough for you to opt

for surgery or other invasive procedures. This isn't necessary any more.

There's a new, noninvasive technique called magnetic resonance imaging

guided focused ultrasound surgery - or MRgFUS. It's an FDA-approved

outpatient treatment that's covered by many insurance programs. It

shrinks the tumors and they don't tend to grow back.

Uterine fibroids generally stop growing at menopause. But some

post-menopausal women still produce enough estrogen and suffer from

fibroids. If you can control them until a lack of hormones kicks in, you

can avoid having invasive procedures. These include hysterectomy,

laparoscopic surgery, or uterine artery embolization (plugging up the

arteries that supply blood to the fibroids).

This new procedure is available at the Mayo Clinic and other facilities.
