LNBP: Possible Answer to Bone Loss in Space

One machine that has been developed that has been able to simulate the Earths gravity by 1 to 1.2 times. The machine is called the Lower Body Negative Pressure Device(LBNP). The LBNP is a chamber that has a treadmill in it. The chamber is surrounds the lower body of the astronaut and has a vacuum attached to it that sucks air out the chamber creating pressure similar to gravity. This also increases blood pressure in the lower body, which is taken away by the lack of gravity. This appears to be the best option as of late to prevent many of the symptoms experienced by the lack of the gravitational pull of the Earth.
