Drink your food, chew your water: R. Madhavan at the RWC16

I'm going to tell you something that you may not know about our next speaker did you know when he was still in school he was a star in CC Kadett and he he went to UK to train with the British Army the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force did you know that key arm is a big believer in production of animals a few years ago PETA ranked them as a person of the year the unknown as an actor but very few of us know that he's a is also a writer and a producer so ladies and gentlemen bring down the roof let's welcome over oh very good afternoon thank you very much why when I first came in and I saw this setup I was blown I was talking to a doctor in the evening last night and she was saying this forum should be as big as Ted with this sort of us preparation and the kind of speakers you are I think you'll soon be as big if not more prominent than Ted in India and so I wish you all the very best for it I'm going to speak to you on my idea of wellness I am NOT an authority on history nor on the medical sciences that I have bravely ventured out to speak on today but I can tell you with complete certainty that it has worked for me it has really changed the way my life has been proceeding when I was made aware of these facts you know being an actor the stardom was thrust upon me and I was more than excited to be called a star and have people share after me and what happens with most successes at an age when you didn't expect it is that complacency sets in so after my first a seven eight years in the film industry the kind of film that I was doing was mundane I was getting into doing three films a year and more importantly I was becoming fat and even more importantly deep inside I was getting unhealthy mentally as well as physically mentally because complacency is one of those stages where it starts completely you start living in what I call the 30 degree a 30 second rule which is you must be aware that when you are in stress and you get up in the morning every day you're brushing your teeth you're thinking about whether to have breakfast before you go to work or have breakfast at work when you are actually having a shower you're thinking instead of concentrating on the shower you are thinking as soon as I get out of the shower have to wear these clothes and probably take this route to the office when you're driving the car you're living another 30 seconds I think as soon as I reach the office is the first all I have to make and what happens is you are never actually in the moment that you're doing a particular activity how many of you really enjoyed a shower recently not had a shower enjoy the shower when I say enjoy the shower isn't actually look at every part of your body that you're cleaning and in seeing how it feels being there in that one and that is what meditation is all about is being in the moment this 30 second rule I realized was what was happening in my life I was thinking about what I'm going to do after the short while doing the short I was thinking about what I'm going to do after you know there's backup is over when I'm in the shoot and as a result I was never actually present completely and what I was doing and that was never the best formula to excel so when this complacency set in and I became unhealthy I decided to go and meet a doctor like all of us do today we want to do all the research in the internet before we go to meet the doctor because we want to seem sure of what is happening with us and help the doctor in his I know diagnosis of our issues I have a I have a neighbor whose name is dr. Manoj and he tells me a story about how this patient came to him after doing all the research he was living in the ghettos in Bombay Abdul he came and said doc sob my wife is unwell there is something wrong in her stomach you have to do an operation sit here doctor said let me let me examine the patient first or why did you bring her to me he could have just taken there and then the operation on your own isn't any sub up there who see what has to be done and sure enough doctor man who checked him and they found out that she did have a appendix infected appendix so they did a Bendix surgery and she was cured one and a half years later dr. Abdul calls doctor again exactly one and a half years later dr. sob I'm bringing my wife she's got appendix again you have to do the surgery and take it off so now dr. Manoj is getting a little upset he said yeah listen let me be the doctor let me do all the diagnoses you just bring with your wife with a complaint he said no no I'm telling you same thing just take out the appendix she'll be fine and doctor was really angry he said listen you going to teach me how to be a medical officer but there's one human being has only one appendix has already been taken out and he's yelling at Abdullah Abdullah waited for him to finish and he said ma'am sir I understand that one human being can have only one appendix but a man can have two wives nah yeah hey I find it tough to manage with one I don't know how much is up the less it but but the thing is when I'm into the doctor he said um I triglycerides this problem that problem all the issues and I said what he wanted to he said I'm going to give you medicines I was a quick fix but that is the time that I came across some very interesting notions that were being floated around in the world and more importantly I met some very interesting people that changed the way I thought I was going to get cured so let's go back to these interesting notions first something that I believe in very strongly you know human beings are not designed or not were not meant to live past the age of 40 the average age expectancy of the homo sapiens was about 40 to 45 everything else starts closing down if you are lucky you managed to 50 the Japanese made it a habit of reaching 100 now and everybody lives on what I call Bonus Time now the problem is mentally we do not prepare for the next 40 50 years of our extended life and what happens is many people think that retirement is a diamond from life or when a certain sort of unhealthy situation sets in they think that's the end of it and the worst curse that my father had my grandfather Tommy in the world today bade youngsters mid students professors or people who are flying high the worst curse today mentally is to be considered irrelevant to be considered if the element in the society that you live in in the family that you live in in the environment that your opinion as I say old man it does matter don't listen to him and everybody's fight is to stay relevant throughout their age and how do you do that how do you do that to the next hundred sixty years of your life and I was very curious about it because I see my parents I used to see my relatives give up until I find I'm a peacekeeper carnival either happy but they were still alive mentally and it was becoming more and more difficult to see them lose control of their lives because mentally they were very sedated that's when the research had ended you know we are supposed to be if you went by the Darwin's theory the descendants from apes right the difference between an Indian elephant the difference in DNA between an Indian elephant and an African elephant yeah I mean the similarity is about 98.6% that's how similar the Indian elephant is to an African elephant so there is a difference of about 1.4 percent do you know what this what the difference or the similarity between human being and chimpanzee is anybody DNA is ninety to ninety nine point two percent which means we are closer to the monkeys compared to an elephant to the African elephant which means our DNA's are very much similar and there is something that happened in between which helped us evolve as human beings and then the primate stayed as them so the whole world believed very recently almost 50 years ago that we were descendants of the chimpanzees till they found out and the chimpanzees I mean I mean for those of you don't know the chimpanzees almost live like a human like society you know they have they have made they have murders they have conniving they have wars between the two fractions they had their territorial they're omnivorous they are you know they would they would resort to murder they would steal each other's mates they would result a resort to invest aside all sorts of goods and Bad's that would be human being shared in our world today which is very evident from the news and then they discovered a new subspecies of the chimpanzees which was called the bonobos and you be heard about that bonobos anybody I'm creating a biology class here okay but it is true what I tell you is true South America there was another breed of chimpanzees called the bonobos very similar to the original chimpanzees only difference is the social build up was extremely different the chimpanzees were a patriarchal society the bonobos were a matriarchal society they were extremely peace-loving they would hardly be wars between the communities everything was well shared and equally distributed amongst all and every each and every member of the society sex was used to compensate for violence or any sorts of or displeasure I mean they had lesbianism homosexuality they in fact had all kinds of weird things but all related to peace nothing violent and then you suddenly they suddenly realize that human being or Homo sapiens were a mix of both these DNA's that brings us to a very interesting situation which means basically that there are some of us here in the room if you were to meet somebody who perpetrated a crime against you probably try to molest your daughter and this guy was brought in front of you and said take revenge some of us however angry we get we would say I hate you curse the big and say let law take its course and there are yet others another part of the world in the same Society who for a lesser crime will take out a knife and cut somebody's throat not think twice about it which basically means that whatever DNA you have you have it in entirety and it is in your control physically and mentally to activate those da DNA s to live the kind of life you lead depending on your conditioning this was very I am for me it was mind-blowing it was fabulous because the person who informed this told me that suddenly you will find yourself getting this inhuman strength to do something that you didn't think you were capable of doing or you would take this inhuman or you know spectacular stand against something in your life that you didn't think you were capable of doing he says those are the conditionings that help you activate those DNA's so I said you know what I understood all this but I'm a man who believes in practicality I want tangible results I've told you all this tell me what how do I activate the DNA's that I want I want to activate it going back to looking young I want to go back to you feeling young tell me how to do it so I went to this place in Austria spent a lot of money go to this place which is a you know was a Wellness Institute and they had been running that for 150 years and the lessons I learned there were priceless why I'm going to describe this entire experience to you and I'm going to tell you the influences as we go along I went there it was a beautiful place outside a lake spectacular cold I walked in on a Sunday evening they said yeah welcome mr. Madhavan and we'll see you tomorrow morning and would you like to have dinner I said yes they give me a sumptuous dinner I was a vegetarian they gave me the food I want you the next morning I went in at the doctor and he said welcome mr. Marvin lovely to see you you from India I see yeah it is a congratulations then you know you're you've paid us a lot of money and come a long way to hear from us what we learnt in India said congratulations he started explaining to me what's going to happen for the next 10 10 days - 15 days that I plan to stay there the first part was I said first thing I said I'm hungry what can I have for breakfast he said so it's in the next three days mr. Madhavan you will be having what he extolled me was four slices of slightly hard bread and a bowl that looked like a little bit of urine in it but was actually vegetable broth according to him I said what is this is the appetizer he said no that is your breakfast lunch and dinner for the next three days I said only that he said yeah I said give me my passport can I go back to India I'm done this is too radical for me he said no no listen and he said the most interesting he said what do you want to eat for breakfast so now I'm looking at him very suspiciously I said can I have a white omelette I'm trying to go healthy here so egg white omelette maybe a liberal oats would you like to have some pancakes now the thought of pancakes had already already digested the pancakes because he meant it so I said well if you think I should have a pancakes no problem so he set at 8 o'clock we will all go to the dining room and at that place I saw extraordinary people who achieved extraordinary results like the Sultan of Brunei his sister Paula Abdul brother whatever all kind of people and when we went for breakfast we were all sitting and the spectacular Hall facing the lake and everybody was sitting on their individual tables we were categorically told no phones no newspapers no television no nothing you will sit there and you will do as we ask you to and see if it makes a difference in your life so they had taken orders from every one of us people had ordered omelet they confronted him grana everything and everything was neatly placed on our table it was actually their Gomez chef had prepared it with looking spectacular I could smell it I was ready to have it and they said the we all can have any part of the breakfast you so wish but the only condition is our request is they put this bowl of soup and this four pieces of spelt bread we are and said our only request to you is finish this bowl of soup and this bread in the manner that we asked you to and then we are more than happy for you to consume the rest of the breakfast and I said okay great what's the deal they said we're going to follow a principle here called drink your food and and some sip chew your water so it's drink your food and chew your water so I said what do you mean by then they said take a piece of spelt bread chew it 40 times at least till it becomes liquid that becomes completely liquid then swallow it it's not going to be easy your mind is not going to allow you to do that it sounds very simple your mind is never gonna allow you to do that but I we'd like you to focus on just at four pieces of bread we've given you and then every time you take a sip of the soup don't don't gulp it down put it in your mouth gargle it in your mouth feel it chew it with your teeth and then swallow it I said no problem the the pancake was beckoning so I picked up my bread and I started to chew it slightly chewy rubberish and I would you know make it into complete liquid I would actually feel the entire flavor it was not bad it was pretty tasty but ladies and gentlemen in 14 minutes I couldn't finish the bread forget about the rest of the breakfast forget about the soup I couldn't finish the bread I was seated and it happened across the board to everybody I mean like looking at each other and smiling because we tried you know there's a there's an afro-american woman ship tried to have a little bit of the pancakes we couldn't finish it and it is really a we thought of was my soda or got a lot of Zola there that's why you're feeling full and everything but then the explanation started and he said to all of Isis mister mother when the mind or your body knows exactly what it wants your mind gets sated after chewing for 14 to 15 minutes whatever you if you calculate every time you've been to a party every time you've been to a dinner you can only eat collectively for 15 minutes what do you eat how much you eat and that is a totally different thing but you cannot chew for more than 14 15 minutes because the brain sends a signal to your body saying stop eating you got enough food I said this is very interesting and so a series of classes started and the sense of which I want to share with you today I was asking him you know I don't understand so how does this work what in 15 minutes he says when you there is he asked me you know you're going to work out for this film called salah cruise you want to build up muscles you asked me in an email how much protein you should hear a serie he said down why do you want to eat protein I said because I want to put on excess muscles I want the body to look fit he said well in that case why didn't you just have eight glasses of protein shakes every day it's great amount of protein don't work out just have eight glasses of protein shake you should become muscular I said nah maybe that doesn't work because I am supposed to be working out all so he says then why do you need to work out if protein is going to do the job for you I said yeah he says the protein doesn't do the job for you your conditioning of the lifestyle that you're leading while you eat the food will determine what aspect of the food is absorbed in your body he asked me what is the most muscular animal in the jungle asking a kid question so everybody said elephant basically it was the Ox the most muscular animal in the forest and he said what does the Ox eat just grass it's it's a herbivore and even in the herbivore it only eats grass and he says so how does he get all the muscles no protein shake for that ox and he says the brain and your body is far more spectacular and smart than you people and your mundane lives are giving it credit for this is the brain knows that there is no pure food every piece of food that you put in your mouth is consisting of carbohydrates fats protein vitamin mineral but in different proportions and he says the Bulls brains knows how to just take out the protein from the grass that is required and substitute and put it into the body that means so I was extremely intrigued so you see you're basically saying that I don't need to take a protein shake he said no let me explain to you how what we learnt from India where we say the final point of the whole conversation is people in our Shastras say that you are what you eat by that what he meant was your emotional success your emotion so you emotional your success your temperament the way you look at the world your your family relationships your professional relations everything depends on what you eat and that was too much for me I said that is how can my acting dependent on my you know popularity of my professional get it depend on what I eat so please tell me what we tell you only eat that and he said no no no he says when we say you are what you eat it basically means that in today's world people are so stressed out he says that mr. Madan if you're not able to give yourself 10 minutes in a day to sit quietly without your mobile phones without your conversations without your television without being distracted to eat your food then you're doing a stupid profession and you're not a successful person all great people in the world who have achieved any sort of greatness were very disciplined on one thing and that was their food beard Alexander the Great to any Magma's to everybody food was a very important factor not just a food the way they ate it how they ate it and when they ate it so I said explain to me I'm not as evolved as what you're trying to be and he said the body when you chew it enough when you start drinking your food when you chew it enough the brain takes all the signals from your saliva your sugar and your carbohydrates gets digested in the mouth any doctor will tell you that your saliva sends a signal to your brain saying this gentleman is eating certain certain things so prepare your app your your guts a core to secrete the acids according to the food being taken so that the right amount of absorption is done for the food most of us wolf down the food which means that you're raining your intestine with one enough without information to your brain with just food and anybody who's in the medical profession will tell you that other food doesn't get digested in time it becomes toxic so therefore the brain will leave all other activities including put its it itself at risk to just make sure that the food gets digested how many of you all go to the gym I'm sure you two ladies who absolutely spectacular ladies the twins that go into the mountains they know you all go to the gym right any men who go and workout or this is a very healthy environment right thank you sir and I'm anybody who's been to the gym and trying to put on muscles will tell you the moment you start working out you start feeling your muscles getting pumped right it looks larger can you all tell me how the muscle looks larger when you work out or midgets go and answer it anybody aha well will you concentrate yeah but how does the muscle become bigger for that particular moment when you're working out say there again lactic build-up um no basically because the blood rushes into that particular part of the body so when you're working out your chest or you're working out your abdomens or you're working out your biceps or triceps the blood rushes in to those parts to stop the muscle from getting damaged and therefore it gives a definition and a size and then the more you do it the more the muscle test the more it becomes the fiber increases and it becomes bigger and more efficient well what is the blood rush into the muscles the question I ask people who workout in the gym every day I'm saying out to my chest over here where is the muscle come from rather than become where did the blood come from and nobody knows where the blood comes from it's not like you're drinking blood while you're working on anybody said again yeah other parts of the body hey which part of the body specifically brains heart nope so that's exactly the answers that I was giving the blood constantly rests in your gut the reason it rests in your gut is it's widely accepted in Chinese mythology as well as the Indian sciences that the gut your stomach is your second brain and if your stomach is your second brain you must understand that it knows how to take care of the body when you eat the food so quickly we'll fit down the food rations to the first small intestines which is going around around your stomach and it's being pushed through it the acids are pouring in trying to make sure that the food whatever little bit they can nourish men can be added its digested and then it's pushed into the large intestine which goes around your stomach like this and then finally gets excreted right large intestine has a layer of bacteria which is like a lawn all right so that lawn is meant to be the bacteria is there and whatever food has been digested comes there the bacteria absorbs the food pushes into the into the blood that's why the blood is always there and then it goes to the rest of your part of the body when the food is gulped down the small intestine is not able to digest it completely so it pushes it to the large intestine with undigested food which is actually the food of this bacteria because bacteria is a plant and like all plant it absorbs this particular food and from a lawn it becomes a forest that's why we get our little belly because the large intestine is swollen up it's become hard it's become tough and most importantly the blood flow and the flow of digestive juices become very very limited and your body is not now healthy it is unhealthy it is actually functioning below optimum and he says society cannot grow India as a society mentally cannot grow till you are unhealthy physically which means if you're not if it's just normal it's still not enough your body is capable of functioning optimally all you have to do is give it enough time when you eat food I was completely blown by them and I wanted to know tell me more and he said the last thing he said what do I have to do to make sure that this gut doesn't become an earlier and my second brain is actually functioning properly and he said mr. massive and the first thing I will tell you is you will not eat food after six o'clock in the evening what time do you go to sleep I said ten actually lied I go to I go to sleep at 2:00 but he said ten I wanted to sound healthy but he said if you're sleeping at ten you have to make sure that you finish eating your food at least three hours before you go to sleep because that will determine how successful you are in your career now you keep saying this explain and he says if the blood is in the digestive system all the time when you lie down in the prone position the blood is kept there and it is meant to digest the food that we've eaten quickly and then rush to the brain the moment you eat food just before you go to sleep the brain says forget me all the blood let it be in the gut and let it just digest the food that you've eaten right now so that if you don't digest he's going to become toxic in three hours and you will die as a result that brain does not that blood from the gut does not travel to the brain and when it does not travel in the alpha state to the brain what happens is the entire rejuvenation of the body and it doesn't matter what age group you are and young old or anything the entire rude rejuvenation that sleep is supposed to do is to blood carries all the information about which nail is not working why the hair is falling why the skin is looking dry which part is being infected which bone is hurt what is hollow all the information that is going to be there has to travel to the brain the brain analyzes it and before you wake up before the beta state before the state that you wake up all the signals are sent out to every part of your body and once that signal is received everybody is reset you wake up and he says that's when the mind can clearly do job it is meant to me why do people say don't drink and drive because he'll get an accident why do you enter an accident or why do you get into a debate that you normally would not do sober why do you get into a you know argument on a topic that you would not normally get into sober it's because at the time that you're drunk the brain is telling you that is right it's perfect you good enough to drive you're saying all your facilities are fine and you're like and bravado sets in and you do stupid things he says if alcohol is capable of giving that negative effect to your brain then be assured that there are many substances that are capable of making your brain work in a positive manner in a more efficient manner and those 10 days that I lived over there I made sure that I ate every day before 6 o'clock I made sure i choose my food and sorry i drank my food and showed my water and I made sure I try to follow everything that he had said in terms of how does gonna help me get reset my life when I came out of there I am Telling You ladies and gentlemen I was a completely changed man in ten days before I left he said one more thing he said what I am Telling You me some other one does not mean that it will be accepted by your body in your brain at the right time it's a calling your mind reminder state you were ripe for me to tell you this and understand that he spoke like a philosopher as a doctor he says sometimes in your life you're not ready to listen sometimes the calling is not there many people have come to this place and done this course mundane ly but they were not mentally ready to accept the changes that they were that we were trying to say and eventually they went back to going at relegating themselves back to the same lifestyle this is the difference between that and you is what is in your culture called Karma Withey that is going to be the difference between how successful you are and how so the reason I was asked telling trying to tell you this is it is very possible for us to activate each one of those DNA's that we have the same as the Barnabas as well as the chimpanzees this particularly conditioning about how you have your food and how you let your environment affect you will determine which of those DNA's get get activated any given point of time I am like I said a follower of simplicity and tangible answers this gave me a serious tangible answer sit down eat your food without being distracted make sure you chew 40 times make sure you drink your solid food and chew your water and the day I started doing that it was spectacular every result that was wrong in my blood group came back started getting normalized my hair started growing more healthy I was able to think more clearly I did not have to think make notes over things that had to be done during the day and and and from being below average health-wise I was in my opinion functioning optimally and it is very difficult to convince yourself to be young when you are 46 years old and you're here Owen is 17 years old and she's on this set and exhibiting totally different aspects of being an actress's I've ever been used to where you know hey I bought a tattoo here or I have a piercing there do you want to see it and I'm no I don't want to see it but I well you know it's very difficult to relate to them but sometimes if you have enough stories in your in your pocket you're able to be make yourself relevant even to that generation and being and want and feeling like the alpha male on the set feeling like you're the healthiest one over there feeling like you were the boss is very important for a hero and for me this experience in Austria helped me get there and that is the story I wanted to share thank you very much for your patience
