The benefits of berries!
They are, without a doubt, the best choice in terms of their health benefits. Blueberries,, raspberries,, blackberries or strawberries; berries protect us against cancer and are a very good source of antioxidants..
The darker they are, the more they protect us from free radicals, which cause premature aging.
But that's not all...
➡️Strawberry:
It has diuretic, laxative and revitalizing properties. Best for those who suffer from gout.
➡️Raspberry (black raspberry and blackberry):
Recommended for those who have digestive problems, suffer from rheumatism and have menstrual delays. They are rich in fibers and prevent constipation.
➡️Blueberry:
Blueberry is the ultimate berry for its antioxidant properties. It is also said to improve memory and motor skills, with exercises of course.
⚠️Nutrition is much more complex but so simple when we have the knowledge to properly make our food choices according to our lifestyle and goals.

Proprioception to fix your injury
Proprioception 👀🦶👂 is used in kinesiology to know the location of a limb or joint in space. It's also about having the ability to properly engage your muscles at the right moment.
➡️There are several types of mechanoreceptors in your body, which are like sensors 😆. They are located all over your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
➡️When you perform a movement, the mechanoreceptors locate the location of your joint and they send a signal to your brain, which analyzes the information and sends back the command to perform, which is to contract a specific muscle in order to avoid an injury.
➡️Good proprioception involves synchronized recruitment of muscle contractions, a good intensity of applied force as well as good joint stability.
➡️Optimal range of motion 💥 of the joint must also be involved!
To achieve this, there are three systems involved:
-Visual system 👀
-Vestibular system 👂
-Somatosensory system 🦶
➡️Good motor control, i.e., doing a movement correctly, requires good proprioception.
✅In short, we are talking about good movement quality 💪.
➡️However 💥, a lack of proprioception often involves several factors, including poor transmission of the message by the nerve signal, muscle fatigue, and the presence of pain that persists during certain movements.
➡️These factors slow down your reaction time and decrease the accuracy of your movement.
➡️When you increase your effort executing a movement, proprioception is activated. The faster and more dynamic the movement, the better proprioception you need.
For example, poor proprioception can cause an ankle sprain. Your muscles and ligaments did not react fast enough to prevent your ankle from twisting. As a result, you get injured.
➡️To rehabilitate proprioception, you need to do balance exercises, muscle strengthening exercises, and motor control exercises (creating a new pattern). We use steady or unstable surfaces, open or closed eyes, internal or external perturbations, open (free limb end) or closed (supported limb end) chain exercises.
➡️In order to achieve this, you can consult a kinesiologist to determine your needs and show you the best exercises to save you time and most importantly, not to waste time.
We strongly advise you to consult us before you even get injured, as a preventative measure, no matter what your sport or activities are.

The number one cause of injury
Performances are not measured by how heavy you lift, but how you lift it! That's what makes the difference between being a good athlete or not.
We have coached hundreds of athletes, sportsmen and amateurs in group classes at Centre Sportif Extrême Évolution Laval and Centre Sportif Extrême Évolution.
One thing we can confirm is that the number ONE cause of injury is lack of mobility‼️
At Kinexcellence, we approach performance differently. Our Kinesiologists are trained in Naturopathy, Neurotherapy and Kinesitherapy.
Rehabilitation has become the new way to warm up to perform better.
We offer our services in videoconference as well as in person with the safety rules due to COVID-19.

How to boost your immune system and defend yourself naturally!
✅ Hydration: Drink 2.5 to 3 Liters of water per day! (Not 1-2 Liters/day)
✅ Sleep: Between 7 to 9 hours per night
✅ Eat well with unprocessed healthy food !
✅ Vitamin D: get 2000 to 10,000 units/day (under a doctor's supervision)
✅ Vitamin C: While not proven to prevent cold symptoms, Vitamin C has been shown to shorten the duration of an illness by strengthening the immune system. Recommended dosage: 500 mg, 3-4x per day
✅ Zinc Citrate: Provides antiviral activity and decrease the duration of colds and flu.
✅ Echinacea Tea with Manuka Honey: Echinacea is a kind of immune system booster. Combined with the antiviral and antimicrobial properties of Manuka honey, this drink is a powerful virus destroyer!
✅ Elderberry: This herb is antiviral and helps reduce mucus production.
✅ Nasal Irrigation: Very helpful in keeping your sinuses clear before you get sick, BUT be careful with this procedure once you are sick. (Ex: HydraSense)
✅ Chicken Soup: Your grandmother was right! Warm liquids help reduce mucus buildup while maintaining hydration.
✅ Garlic: Crushing garlic cloves generates a compound known as allicin, which has powerful antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
✅ Astragalus: This Chinese medicinal herb has been used for over a millennium for its antiviral and immune-boosting effects. You should use astragalus with garlic in a chicken soup broth to boost your immune system.
Caution: Anti-Inflammatory drugs could worsen the symptoms of coronavirus (Advil, Nurofen, Ibuprofen, Naproxen: Validate with your doctor if you are already on anti-inflammatory drugs depending on your condition).

Tired? How's your pineal today?
The pineal gland, also known as the 3rd eye, is located right in the center of the brain and is no bigger than a grain of rice, but plays a crucial role in our health.
It acts as a hormonal conductor by controlling the circadian rhythm of day and night, sleep, the menstrual cycle and the onset of puberty.
The pineal gland produces two main hormones: melatonin at night and serotonin during the day. This mechanism is performed through the eyes, which send impulses to the pineal gland to inform it whether it is day or night. The peak of melatonin release is usually around 2 a.m. and decreases by half around 5 a.m.
In addition to having a calming effect, melatonin supports the immune system and is also a powerful antioxidant.
Of course, many stress factors can affect the pineal gland and disrupt its rhythm such as
- Poor sleep habits
- Unusual rhythm of light and dark (night shift worker)
- Jet lag
- Temperature change
- Nutritional imbalance
- Radiation
- High altitudes
- Stress in general
Furthermore, an increasing number of studies are beginning to show a relationship between specific sleep cycle imbalances and electromagnetic fields. We find many objects in our environment that emit electromagnetic fields. The most widely used thing in recent years is, of course, the cell phone. It is a good idea to put your phone in airplane mode before going to bed at night and not to place it directly under your pillow.
It would also seem that fluoride affects this gland since this element seems to have a predisposition for places rich in calcium, as is the case for the pineal, but also the teeth, bones, parotids and even the prostate.
Once the stresses and bad habits of life are identified, melatonin-based supplements or melatonin cofactors are available on the market and may be recommended by your health care professional.
However, new studies suggest that melatonin supplements should not be taken on a long-term basis or for several years, as this could create a certain form of dependency.
So why not start with food? There are excellent natural sources of melatonin such as :
- Cherries
- Tomatoes
- Nuts
- Strawberries
- Cereals
- Olive oil
- And even wine and beer
On that note, I hope you have a great night's sleep!
