It’s rare something like this misses my radar. Over the past 15 years I’ve featured every kind of health & fitness trend and gadget imaginable on TV as a lifestyle host but somehow this remained hush-hush and never surfaced up until now.
I received the “insider’s scoop” by one of the scientists interviewed on my new longevity series ‘The New 100 Longevity Campaign’ and was put in touch with the company’s president to review this hidden gem for myself.
“I had become privy to what every elite athlete has kept hush-hush as their athletic “edge” for years.”
What I’m talking about is called KAATSU.
Everyone from pro athletes; baseball, basketball and football players, swimmers, golfers, sumo wrestlers, martial artists — U.S. Olympics Team not to mention “the Agencies” as in CIA, FBI, Army, Navy Seals…and the list goes on and on. They have all been “in the know” about KAATSU for years, and now you will be too.
The brainchild of Dr. Yoshiaki Sato, the basic premise of Kaatsu was conceived in 1966. A young athlete at the time, Dr. Sato noticed how much his calf muscles hurt after kneeling through long Japanese ceremonies. He realized the swelling was similar to the pumped-up feeling he got after vigorous weight training. Through his research Dr. Sato found that modified blood circulation in the limbs helped build muscle through a biochemical reaction in the brain.
The word KAATSU means “additional pressure” in Japanese. It’s a mashup of the words “additional” — ka — and “pressure” — atsu — the system puts thin, computer-controlled, pressurized bands around your upper arms and legs to reduce the amount of blood flowing back from the muscles in your extremities.
Since KAATSU works on the venous flow, it is a highly efficient means at enabling the body to improve itself to enhance the blood flow throughout the body. The results are an incredible cascade of positive physiological effects that benefit our longevity potential, our athletic performance, for rehabilitation and recovery and my personal favorite…. skin tightening!
