Dans les petits pots les meilleurs onguents, mais encore!
Le 14 janvier dernier,
Biotherm présentait aux journalistes des plus grands magazines de mode au Canada, un nouveau produit qui sera sur le marché au printemps prochain. Biotherm, une des marques de luxe de L’Oréal, maître des cosmétiques, reconnaît l’importance d’adopter de saines habitudes de vie pour optimiser les résultats de ses petites merveilles en pots. C’est pourquoi ils ont misé sur approche du bien-être à 360° en tenant compte de l’alimentation, l’activité physique et le mode de vie sain. C’est aussi pourquoi ils ont à nouveau fait appel à l’équipe d’
atp nutrition pour se charger du volet style de vie de l’événement.
Au
Spa Elmwood de Toronto, une quinzaine de journalistes étaient rassemblés pour en savoir plus sur les technologies de l’heure, mises en tube par L’Oréal. Pendant que les journalistes se faisaient, soit dorloter par les massothérapeutes du Spa avec le nouveau produit ou suivaient les exercices simples et efficaces de Benoît, l’entraîneur personnel d’atp nutrition, les nutritionnistes de l’équipe, elles, offraient aux journalistes une consultation nutritionnelle pour les aider à atteindre des objectifs réalistes, afin d’améliorer leurs habitudes de vie respectives. Et pour informer les journalistes sur les conseils nutritionnels de l’heure, une pochette d’information, conçu par l’équipe d’atp nutrition, leur était remise. La pochette traitait des bienfaits des saines habitudes alimentaires, de l’activité physique et d’un mode de vie sain (hydratation, sommeil, absence de tabagisme, faible niveau de stress…) sur la santé et la beauté.
Un objectif à la fois, c’est notre philosophie pour atteindre vos objectifs personnels.
Et vous, quel est votre plus grand défi en matière de style de vie?

Hydration during exercise- top 3 FAQs
It’s that time of year! We’re putting our road bikes onto our trainers and playing tennis indoors and thinking ahead to ski season! Why not take a minute to take a look at how you are fuelling your body at the same time. Are you getting the right foods, the right fluids and the right amounts?
The dietitians at atp nutrition thought we’d help you out with some of our most frequently asked questions. From our most elite athletes to our first time 5km runners; we hear the same three questions about hydration!
How much water should I be drinking?
The amount of water you will need will depend on a number of factors such as your size, the type and duration of your exercise and the temperature. As a general rule, drink 10ml of water for every kg of your body weight for every hour you are exercising. (80kg=800ml/hour)
How can I know if I’m drinking enough?
Check the color of your urine- it’s an age old trick that really does the trick! It should be pale yellow if you are well hydrated.
What about caffeine?
Caffeine has long been considered to be a dehydrator. However, the bulk of the evidence fails to prove this theory. Bottom line, moderate caffeine intake is unlikely to negatively affect your hydration status, or an athletic performance.
So, what is moderate caffeine intake for one day?
1. 3 cups of regular coffee (these are 8oz cups – a Second Cup medium is 16oz)
2. 4 red bulls
3. 4 double espressos
4. 3 cups of caffeinated tea with a strong brew

What a beautiful day for a marathon! We had so much fun at our booth at the marathon expo speaking with runners and cyclists. Pearle and Kate also gave two energizing presentations entitled “10 things every runner should know!”. We were at the finish line to cheer on the runners including our clients, the four runners from La Presse Courir pour la forme and of course Pearle Nerenberg and Stephanie Jamain, dietitians here at atp nutrition!
