My Advice to an Athlete...

Friday, August 20, 2010 by Mitch B
Just a few days ago, I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine who happens to be a college athlete.  He said that he has been having constant debates with his coaches over what liquids he should be taking in during the season.  Just water? Just Gatorade? Artificially flavored fruit juice? They couldn't land on what would be the best route to take.

It was during this conversation that I kindly stopped him and gave him one recommendation- Beet Juice.  Obviously, you should never cut water, or other nutrient and enzyme building liquids from your diet, but once I explained to him the benefits that beet juice has on the body, I could see the wheels turning.

I don't know if it was my telling him that beets have been proven to boost energy and help people have the stamina to exercise 16% longer...

...or if it was my telling him that it 
increases the amount of nitric oxide in the body.  That, in turn, helps blood vessels relax, lowers blood pressure and has anti-inflammatory benefits as well...

...or if it was my explanation of the high levels of calcium that helps improve bone health...


but SOMETHING sparked something in him and he asked, "Where do I buy beet juice??"

I said that there is only one place around that sells 100% Organic Beet Juice, and that is Biotta!  Think you're sold on the idea? Check out the website and see where you can order some today!

Support Organic!

Saturday, July 31, 2010 by Mitch B
Many people continue to ask why "organic foods" are so popular today.  Some see it as a fad that will pass over time, some just eat it because it is the "healthy choice."

Organic.org recently posted a list: Top 10 Reasons to Support Organic in the 21st Century.

1. Reduce The Toxic Load: Keep Chemicals Out of the Air, Water, Soil and our Bodies
2. Reduce if Not Eliminate Off Farm Pollution
3. Protect Future Generations
4. Build Healthy Soil

5. Taste Better and Truer Flavor
6. Assist Family Farmers of all Sizes
7. Avoid Hasty and Poor Science in Your Food
8. Eating with a Sense of Place
9. Promote Biodiversity
10. Celebrate the Culture of Agriculture

Simply stated, organic produce and other ingredients are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation.**

Here at Biotta Juices, we are 100% committed to the organic cause!  We produce our organic vegetable juice and fruit juice from organic foods with the intention of providing you with the healthiest product possible!

How Do Biotta Juices Retail Their Vitamins?

Saturday, July 24, 2010 by Mitch B
Some of you may wonder how Biotta, which has been praised for its 2-year shelf life, retains all the the vitamins and nutrients packed into every bottle.  Well, it isn't luck, it is a very intricate process that has been perfected to create the best product available.  

The longer pasteurization process and the higher the temperature, the greater the damage to the vitamins in any product.  Biotta uses a gentle method of pasteurization, which retains the greatest possible quantity of vital nutrients.  The juice is heated quickly and immediately cooked down again.  The production continues using as few stages as possible. 

Oxygen is excluded as much as possible, hindering oxidation and the resulting loss of vitamins.  100% non-gas-permeable glass packaging is used.  Glass provides the best product protection and no undesired external elements (oxygen) can permeate the product, resulting in the best vitamin retention.  UV-rays (light influence) can break down vitamins, which is why Biotta products are packaged in closed cartons for storage and transportation.

So, buy a bottle of Biotta today, and you'll be able to enjoy the exact same nutritional value in the Summer of 2012!

Why we add sugar to Elderberry Juice...

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 by Mitch B
If you have spent much time reading up on our juices, you may have seen that our Elderberry Juice is our only juice to which we've added sugar.  There is a very simple reason behind that...

Berry juices such as elderberry are naturally very strong and sour tasting.  Sugar is added for drinking pleasure.  The flavor is enhanced with appropriate tea blends and/or the addition of unrefined sugar or agave juice to neutralize acids.

The sugar used is 100% natural and the healthiest way to improve the flavor of our juice!  

Since we're on the topic of Elderberry Juice, did you know that it is packed full of Vitamin C and great for building up your immune system!

For more information on this or any of our other fresh juices, check out the website! And if you have a question you want to need answered, check out the FAQ page or shoot us an email!

SO Many Celery Juice Benefits!

Friday, July 9, 2010 by Mitch B
Recently, I was reading an article about celery juice on the website eHow.com... I found a great list of benefits of drinking celery juice and wanted to share some of them with you.
  • Celery keeps body temperature regulated, helping you cool down in hot weather.
  • It can also be used as a fever reducer.
  • Fiber in celery works as a natural mild laxative that keeps your system running well without the stress of over-the-counter laxatives.
  • It also rehydrates the body in dry weather and after a workout.
  • Celery can also curb the appetite and reduce cravings for sugar, making it a healthful alternative to diet pills when added to your diet.
This is just a small sampling in a huge list of the benefits of including celery in your diet.  Remember, all of our juices are 100% organic and contain no added sugar, caffeine, flavors, or coloring!  Here at Biotta, we are dedicated to providing pure juice to our consumers!

Keeping Our Juice PURE!

Friday, June 25, 2010 by Mitch B
One of the words we often use to describe our juices here at Biotta would be PURE.  What do we mean by that?  It's pretty simple...

Every one of our juices is 100% organic, meaning that at no time during the cultivation process do the fruits or vegetables come in contact with chemicals or pesticides.  We grow them organically, and safely in order to keep them as pure and healthy for you as possible, which makes the best organic juice possible!

Also, nearly none of our juices have any added sugar (elderberry juice has some added sugar to take away the sour taste).  Also, our juices have no added caffeine, artificial flavoring or artificial colors.  

We don't want to create an artificial beverage with an artificial flavor and no health benefits.  Our fresh juices are some of the healthiest beverages you can put in your body!

**Now you can buy Biotta directly from our website!**

Going Organic Helps the Farmers...

Saturday, June 19, 2010 by Mitch B
I love to include posts every so often to give even more reasons why we choose to support the organic movement.  It's came to my attention lately that, although we usually focus on the benefits that organic products have on the consumers, the organic farmers also see manyUSDA Organic benefits...

One online page gave a breakdown of some ways that going organic can help farmers...

Organic farming helps keep rural communities healthy
USDA reported that in 1997, half of U.S. farm production came from only 2% of farms. Organic agriculture can be a lifeline for small farms because it offers an alternative market where sellers can command fair prices for crops.

Organic farming protect farm worker health
A National Cancer Institute study found that farmers exposed to herbicides had a six times greater risk than non-farmers of contacting cancer.

Organic farming is good for the family farm
Many organic growers are small, independently owned farmers who have found that organic farming is one of the few remaining ways they can stay competitive with larger-scale farms.

Here at Biotta, we have always (and will always) been completely dedicated to providing 100% organic juice for all of our consumers!  Every aspect of our company, from the cultivation, to the packaging, to the bottling, is done with an eco-friendly mindset!

Start supporting the organic movement today by buying from one of the most successful environmental sustainability companies around!  Check out our products page for a full listing of our organic vegetable juice and fruit juice!

Even More Benefits from Carrot Juice

Thursday, June 17, 2010 by Mitch B
A while back, I wrote a post that included a portion of a great list compiled by Dr. Suzanne Skinner of the health benefits of drinking organic carrot juice.  I have decided that I didn't do the list justice in the last small sampling, so here are even MORE benefits!...
  • Sterility is sometimes overcome by its use. 
  • Helps overcome most eye troubles. 
  • The best food for the colon is a combination of raw carrot juice and fresh spinach juice. 
  • Contains elements which nourish the entire system, helping to normalize its weight as well as normalize the chemical balance. 
  • The endocrine glands, especially the adrenals and the gonads require food elements found in raw carrot juice. 
  • Helps overcome dry skin, dermititis, and other skin blemishes. 
  • Rich in calcium, magnesium and iron while the vital organic elements phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and chlorine balance perfectly with the former in their action and reaction on the human system. 
100% Organic Carrot Juice is the closest thing to a miracle juice if there was ever one!  Even after these two posts documenting these benefits, I still feel like I haven't even scratched the surface on the long list of benefits found in carrots.

I Highly recommend checking out the entire list and seeing some of the other benefits.  And while you're at it, why not check out Biotta's website and check into the health benefits of our other organic vegetable juice and fruit juices!

Keys to Healthy Living (Part I)

Sunday, June 6, 2010 by Mitch B
 Kicking off this new series, we're going to stick to a topic that we already know a lot about- What you should be drinking!

Now, although we will stand true behind our juice 100%, we also know that one of the best ways to start leading a healthier life is to make sure that your water intake is at a healthy level!  Water benefits the body in countless ways... Here are a few statistics:

  • Muscle consists of 75% water
  • Brain consists of 90% of water
  • Bone consists of 22% of water
  • Blood consists of 83% water

The functions of water in human body are vital. The water:

  • Transport nutrients and oxygen into cells
  • Moisturizes the air in lungs
  • Helps with metabolism
  • Protect our vital organ
  • Helps our organs to absorb nutrients better
  • Regulates body temperature
  • Detoxifies
  • Protect and moisturizes our joints
Water is the perfect addition to the nutrients your taking in.  Water helps your body absorb everything that fresh juices bring into your body.  Biotta's organic juices are the best way to get the necessary vitamins and minerals in your system daily!

So, in addition to your 3-5 servings of organic vegetable juice and fresh veggies you're getting a day, make sure that you drink a sufficient amount of water every day (The best way to judge if you've had enough water- your urine should be light yellow or clear)

Check out our full listings of juice here!

High Cholesterol? Turn to a Heart Healthy Diet

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 by Mitch B
According to the American Heart Association, over 100 million Americans are at high risk or borderline-risk of high blood pressure.  It is a problem that causes suffering in people of all ages across the country and is only getting worse.

WebMD has many resources for those suffering and those who are at risk.  In one article they discuss diet, which is one of the leading factors in developing high cholesterol and heart disease.


They say, "While most dietary plans just tell you what you CAN'T eat (usually your favorite foods!), the most powerful nutrition strategy helps you focus on what you CAN eat. In fact, heart disease research has shown that adding heart-saving foods is just as important as cutting back on others."

The first recommendation they make on their website is very straight forward:
 

Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes. These wonders of nature may be one of the most powerful strategies in fighting heart disease. The increase in dietary fiber helps lower bad LDL cholesterol.

 
This is an important piece of advice to EVERYONE, no matter what gender, age, race... By adding vegetables, fruits, etc. into your diet, you can drastically cut back your risk for high cholesterol and heart disease.

There are simple steps to make this change.  Instead of sodas, why not have a glass of organic vegetable juice from Biotta?  Put down bowls of sugary cereal for breakfast and instead have a glass of Biotta's Breakfast Blend!  

All of our juices are packed full of nitrate rich vegetables and fruits and they can easily be the first step toward a healthy lifestyle!

Innovation is Key!

Tuesday, May 25, 2010 by Mitch B
The whole world has been chatting about the latest and greatest piece of technology, the iPad!  It can do everything from acting as an e-reader, to surfing the web, to playing games, movies and music.

Why is everyone so drawn to the iPad? Why is it that Apple always seems to stay in the forefront of people's minds when it comes to great products? One word- Innovation.

Elderberries have long been associated with boosting the immune system.  While this is true, there are dozens of other perks to drinking it!  Here are a few from Buzzle.com!

Why YOU Should Go Organic!

Friday, April 23, 2010 by Mitch B
Recently, I found a great Top 10 List from the Organic Trade Commission, breaking down some major reasons why YOU should support organic products and organic farmers!  I've included the list below:

Organic products meet stringent standards

Organic certification is the public’s assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without persistent toxic chemical inputs.

Organic food tastes great!25th Anniversary

It’s common sense – well-balanced soils produce strong, healthy plants that become nourishing food for people and animals.


Organic production reduces health risks

Many EPA-approved pesticides were registered long before extensive research linked these chemicals to cancer and other diseases. Organic agriculture is one way to prevent any more of these chemicals from getting into the air, earth and water that sustain us.


Organic farms respect our water resources

The elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching, done in combination with soil building, protects and conserves water resources.

Organic farmers build healthy soil

Soil is the foundation of the food chain. The primary focus of organic farming is to use practices that build healthy soils.


Organic farmers work in harmony with nature

Organic agricultural respects the balance demanded of a healthy ecosystem: wildlife is encouraged by including forage crops in rotation and by retaining fence rows, wetlands, and other natural areas.


Organic producers are leaders in innovative research

Organic farmers have led the way, largely at their own expense, with innovative on-farm research aimed at reducing pesticide use and minimizing agriculture’s impact on the environment.


Organic producers strive to preserve diversity

The loss of a large variety of species (biodiversity) is one of the most pressing environmental concerns. The good news is that many organic farmers and gardeners have been collecting and preserving seeds, and growing unusual varieties for decades.


Organic farming helps keep rural communities healthy

USDA reported that in 1997, half of U.S. farm production came from only 2% of farms. Organic agriculture can be a lifeline for small farms because it offers an alternative market where sellers can command fair prices for crops.

Organic abundance – Foods and non-foods alike!

Now every food category has an organic alternative. And non-food agricultural products are being grown organically – even cotton, which most experts felt could not be grown this way.

As you know, Biotta Juices is 100% dedicated to the Organic movement!  Every one of our fruits and veggies is organically grown to produce the highest quality fresh juices imaginable.

To see our full selection of organic vegetable juice and fruit juice, check out our products page today!

Why Use Glass Bottles?

Sunday, April 18, 2010 by Mitch B
You may wonder why we choose to use glass bottles in packaging our juices? We have a few reasons behind this idea...

Glass provides the best product protection.  Our glass bottles are non-gas-permeable, meaning that undesired elements cannot get into the product and nothing is able to escape from the bottle! (Especially flavor!)  Glass bottles also have the longest shelf life, which is important to maintaining the quality in all of our fresh juices!

Another motivation behind using glass revolves around taste.  Glass is completely tasteless!
According to a 2004 study, 72% of consumers find glass ideal packaging for organic products.  They find glass to be hygienic, appetizing, recyclable, tasteless and practical.  

Just like every other aspect of our company, Biotta is dedicated to creating the best produce possible for our consumers.  That is why we pay special attention to details in every aspect of the process, from the cultivation, to the picking, to the packaging! We want to make our 100% organic juice perfect for you!

Note:  Biotta juices are not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent any disease.  We are not medical professionals and are not in a position to provide any medical advice.  We recommend that you contact your physician for a dietary regimen specific to your needs
