Eating right can not just help you live longer and look fit and lean, it can also have an impact on your professional success. In an old video, actor Madhavan explained how. In an old speech that has gone viral, the ‘3 Idiots’ star revealed how he got to known about mindful eating habits. He revealed how he had gone to a 150-year-old wellness centre in Austria where he came to know how your success, and personal relationships was connected by one’s eating habits. Madhavan was at first confused but the doctor set him straight. “Today’s world, people are stressed out and not able to give themselves 10 minutes in a day without mobile phones, TV and focus on their food. All great people who achieved any level of success in their lives, from Alexander The Great to Mahatma Gandhi were very particular about their food, what they eat, when and how they ate it…” he recalled. He also explained how the doctor told him our bodies tend to be unhealthy these days and functioned below optimum. Society cannot grow if people are physically unhealthy. The doctor shared some tips with him to reach peak health and fitness: Not to eat food after 6:00 pm in the evening. “He told me to finish eating three hours before I go to sleep, because that will determine how successful I am in my career.” He also explained the mechanism behind this wisdom. “The blood that is in the digestive system all the time. When you lie down, prone position, the blood is meant to help you digest the food and rush to the brain. The moment you eat food just before you go to bed, the brain says forget me. All the blood concentrates in the gut and is used to digest the food you have eaten right now. When blood does not travel to the brain, your body fails to be rejuvenated by sleep.”Madhavan then revealed he emerged a different man after ten days in the retreat. He now focused on sitting down and eating without any distractions, chewing at least 40 times. The results he revealed, were nothing short of spectacular. Everything that were wrong in his blood reports, gradually became to disappear. “My hair started growing and appeared more healthy. I was able to think more clearly. From being below average healthwise, I was being able to function optimally,” he revealed. On the work front, Madhavan was last seen in the superhit franchise Dhurandhar, along with Ranveer Singh. Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar became a box-office phenomenon. The first film earned a whopping Rs 1428 crore at the box-office. The sequel collected a staggering Rs 1850 crore.
