00:00 I am back with the one and only Ricky Martin,
00:02 and he's given us an exclusive look
00:03 at his daily health regimen that helps
00:05 keep him in such good shape.
00:06 All right, so let's talk about food for a second.
00:08 So diet's a big deal.
00:09 We talked about it a tiny bit.
00:10 Spiced mango chutney is one of your go-to meals.
00:13 So explain what you love about it.
00:15 I don't know.
00:15 I think it's a mixture of sweet and maybe salty,
00:18 but because it's mango and it has agave
00:21 and it has a little bit of ginger with a touch of lemon
00:24 and it's--
00:25 Some cardamom.
00:26 --a fusion of taste, of flavors in your mouth,
00:30 it's really good.
00:31 And it's vegetarian, obviously.
00:33 You have an audience full of huge fans,
00:35 so I'm going to just pick one to come down.
00:36 Is that OK?
00:37 Yes, yes.
00:38 Who?
00:39 Are you a champ?
00:40 Leticia!
00:40 Leticia, come down!
00:42 Leticia!
00:42 Where's Leticia?
00:43 Where's she coming from?
00:44 Leticia!
00:46 Leticia, I don't see her.
00:47 Leticia!
00:48 Oh, is she-- oh, there she is!
00:51 Hey, come here.
00:53 How are you?
00:54 Oh, my god.
00:55 Come here.
00:56 Did I pronounce your name wrong?
00:58 No.
00:58 You're sitting in the cup.
00:59 I was too emotional.
01:00 You were too--
01:01 Oh, that's good.
01:02 It was, oh, my god.
01:03 It was my turn.
01:03 So Ricky loves this.
01:05 We thought maybe you'd taste it and give
01:06 us your honest opinion about it.
01:07 Sure.
01:08 What do you like the most about him, by the way?
01:09 Well, I was in his first concert when he was 12 in Puerto Rico.
01:13 That was not-- that was not long ago.
01:15 I know, I know.
01:17 I love him.
01:19 I love him.
01:19 Thank you so much.
01:20 I love you, too, baby.
01:21 Let's see if you love the--
01:22 see if you love the Chango--
01:24 the mango chutney as much as Ricky.
01:26 Compare it.
01:26 OK.
01:27 She's tasting that.
01:28 And it's so easy to make.
01:33 And it's healthy.
01:34 I love it.
01:35 Right?
01:35 Love it, you see?
01:36 You're not going to be able to talk anymore.
01:38 [INAUDIBLE]
01:40 That's really good.
01:41 Why are the teachers eating your mango chutney?
01:43 Teach her your little morning ritual you do just
01:45 to get centered in the morning.
01:47 No, well, you know, it's considered yoga.
01:49 But this yoga is very passive.
01:51 It's very introspective.
01:52 And it's about oxygenating your body.
01:55 It's about breathing through your nose.
01:57 Five seconds in, five seconds out with your eyes closed,
01:59 not counting.
02:01 Not counting?
02:02 Not counting.
02:02 It's-- so you--
02:03 Go ahead and do it.
02:04 --you focus one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three,
02:06 five, five seconds in, five seconds out.
02:09 And when you get to the moment where you don't have to count,
02:12 you know and you can recognize exactly
02:14 the expansion of your lungs.
02:17 And you do that in the middle of chaos.
02:19 You can be in the train, and you can just go there.
02:21 And it'll be better before a meeting, before an interview,
02:25 before your day, before you go to sleep.
02:27 It's very simple.
02:28 Before they call you on stage, you'll be working
02:29 more than you can almost do.
02:31 It's really good.
02:32 But it's challenging.
02:34 The first time you do it to count without counting,
02:37 it doesn't make sense, right?
02:38 No, it doesn't.
02:39 Yeah, I learned it in India.
02:40 And it's a very beautiful moment of my life
02:42 where I had to spend some--
02:44 I got to spend some time in an ashram,
02:46 and they taught me this.
02:47 And it's been incredibly important for me.
02:50 That's a big move.
02:51 What made you go to an ashram?
02:52 I was working in an orphanage.
02:56 I was--
02:57 Don't you love this guy?
02:58 I was--
02:58 [LAUGHTER]
03:00 I just saved the world.
03:01 I was in an orphanage.
03:02 I have a foundation.
03:03 We fight human trafficking.
03:04 And we were fighting human trafficking in India.
03:07 And then I went--
03:09 [APPLAUSE]
03:10 And then I went, and I wanted to meditate.
03:13 Because everything that you read and everything
03:15 that you hear from these young victims that
03:18 are being forced into prostitution
03:19 and forced into pornography, trust me,
03:22 you need a gut some way, somehow,
03:24 to be able to go through the day.
03:26 And they taught me this kind of meditation
03:28 that has been vital for me.
03:30 It's very special.
03:31 Take that.
03:32 That's great.
03:32 Go meditate over there.
03:34 Thank you.
03:35 Thank you very much.
03:35 You're beautiful.
03:36 Love you.
03:36 Thank you.
03:37 Next to your skin health--
03:38 I wasn't going to do this, but I found this unbelievable
03:41 picture you posted.
03:42 This is Ricky Martin.
03:43 Oh, I get in so much trouble with my Instagram.
03:45 He looks like Jason.
03:46 Look at him.
03:46 Oh, my goodness.
03:48 From 5 to 13.
03:49 Well, I was being pampered by my makeup artist.
03:53 Well, we have somebody who has never been pampered
03:55 by their makeup artist.
03:56 Mariella, where are you, Mariella?
03:58 Come on down.
03:58 Mariella, come here.
04:00 Let me help you down.
04:02 Let me help you down, people.
04:03 There you go.
04:04 What a gentleman.
04:05 You know, I didn't--
04:08 I mean, I always knew about face masks.
04:10 But I didn't know there were hand masks.
04:12 Oh, my goodness.
04:13 Well, this is what they are about.
04:15 Come over here.
04:15 We're going to pamper you.
04:16 Are you excited?
04:17 I'm speechless.
04:18 I'm nervous.
04:19 He's real, ladies.
04:20 He's real.
04:20 You're beautiful.
04:22 You're beautiful.
04:23 What's your name again?
04:23 I'm sorry?
04:24 Mariella.
04:24 Mariella.
04:25 Mariella, are we OK with putting a face mask on you?
04:27 Absolutely.
04:28 So, Ricky, let me show you how we do this.
04:31 Enjoy this.
04:32 It's so cool.
04:32 Yeah.
04:33 Do I do the fire?
04:34 Let's give it a try.
04:35 You don't have to-- yeah, you can do the breathing
04:36 while you do this.
04:37 It's cold.
04:39 1, 2, 3.
04:42 Well, you have amazing skin, so you don't need anything.
04:45 Thank you.
04:46 You have nice fingers, so he applies it.
