100% Organic Juice

Are you looking for a refreshing drink to replace sugary sodas?  What if I told you there was a drink that contained no added sugar, no artificial colors, and no artificial flavors.  Oh, and this drink also was free of alcohol, cholesterol, caffeine, gluten, and was low in carbs... Hard to believe, right?  That product is Biotta's line of organic vegetable juices.

There is no competition between Biotta's 100% organic, all natural juice and a can of soda, which contains virtually nothing except empty calories and sugar.  Biotta's vegetable juices are full of vitamins and minerals that are healthy, convenient, and delicious!  And Biotta juices help you get your daily recommended allowance of vegetables.

Our fresh juices are exactly what you need in your daily diet to get your fill of vegetables, as well as many necessary vitamins and minerals.  Check out the Biotta website for more nutrition information and see how you can order your juice today!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.

I have a feeling that Bugs Bunny would have been the perfect spokesperson for Biotta Juice's Carrot Juice.  I can picture the commercial now...

First, he would pop out of the hole and tell us about the important connection between beta carotene and vision.  Biotta's carrot juice is packed full of Vitamin A and Beta Carotene which is essential to improve and maintain healthy vision.  


Second, he would remind us that it is a completely organic juice with no added sugars, coloring or flavors.  In fact, the juice is 100% vegetable juice and free of preservatives and caffeine.

Finally, he would trick Elmer Fudd into falling for his own trap... What a Silly Wabbit...

Since that commercial hasn't been created yet, I suppose you'll have to settle for our website, which has more information on our carrot juice, as well as all of our other juices available!

I stumbled upon this press release today put out by PR Log... It is titled: "Beat Heart Attack & Hypertension with Miracle Juice"  The book Miracle Juicing breaks down many of the major benefits of drinking fruit and vegetable juice.

Here is a small sampling of the juicing benefits they listed in the press release:

• Juices are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that are easily assimilated within fifteen minutes of drinking. The juice is quickly distributed throughout the body to build, heal, repair and restore optimum health. 
• Juices cleanse the blood, which is the body’s lifeline. Clean blood loaded with nutrients will ensure a healthy long life. 
• Juicing helps to pre-digest food so that it can be easily absorbed by the body. 
• Juicing removes indigestible fiber. If a carrot is eaten, one may only get 1% of the beta-carotene, but if it's juiced, 100% of the important beta-carotene will be assimilated. 
• Vegetable and fruit juicing helps to reduce cholesterol, dissolves clogged arteries, reduces the risk of heart attack, reduces high blood pressure, dissolves kidney stones, cleanses the liver, prevents cancers, increases energy and other health benefits.

As you may know, all* of Biotta's organic vegetable juice, fruit juice, and blends are 100% caffeine free!  We are dedicated to providing the most healthy juice possible and we know that cutting caffeine is an easy starting point...

Fact #1: Caffeine can prevent your body from absorbing vitamins and minerals.

According to Dr. Dan Rutherford on NetDoctor.co.uk, "[Caffeine] can increase the excretion of vitamins and minerals from the body, so you won't get the full benefits of healthy foods." When you fill your diet with caffeinated drinks, you are making it more difficult for your body to use all the vitamins and minerals you ingest every day. 

Think about it, for every cup of coffee or soda you drink, you can easily be canceling out that healthy breakfast/lunch/dinner you tried to have.  And according to Dr. Rutherford, it can take up to 18 hours for caffeine to completely leave your system, meaning it is with you for the entire day.

Like I mentioned earlier, every one* of Biotta's juices is caffeine free.  For more nutrition information on our elderberry juice, beet juice, or any of our other juices, check out Products page here!

*Biotta Energy Drink does contain natural caffeine from Guarana.

I hate getting sick.  It seems like every winter I'm struck with it all- a cold, the flu, a sinus infection... you name it, I've had it.  And ever since I had a severe respiratory tract infection a few years ago, I've always suffered from congestion and coughs.

After reading an article from Natural-HomeRemedies, it became clear to me how easy (and delicious) it can be to attack these problems in the future: Elderberry Juice.

The benefits of elderberry juice are countless, but the respiratory related ones are fascinating.  According to Natural-HomeRemedies:

"When the juice is consumed, the anti-inflammatory properties of the juice work to reduce the amount of mucus secreted.  It drains the mucus out of the body, thereby reducing the signs of nasal congestion."

Whether you're trying to prevent getting sick or trying to get over something, elderberry juice is effective.  While other juices may claim to help against respiratory problems, Biotta's elderberry juice is the only 100% natural juice that you'll find!

When we think of calories, we think of them coming from the foods we eat.  When you have a medium cafe latte with whole milk with breakfast, then a 20 oz. regular soda ad lunch, and a 16 oz. sweetened iced tea with lemon mid-day, and glass of wine at dinner, that doesn't sound unreasonable, does it?  After all, they are liquid!

Those 4 beverages amont to 800 calories - or 40% of an average 2,000 calorie daily diet.  And although they keep you hydrated throughout the day, these 800 calories are EMPTY calories.

Sodas, coffee, tea...there is no nutritional benefit to any of these beverages, yet they seem to pack on the calories.  Drinking a 100% organic pure juice, like Biotta Juice, however, will provide you with the same calories, but with the added benefit of vitamins, minerals and other health benefits, like blood pressure lowering properties of our Beet Juice, and soothing an upset stomach like our Potato Juice.

Juice drinks and waters are often enhanced with vitamins and herbs.  Although at first glance they seem like a healthy alternative to soda, but how much sugar and artificial flavoring doe they contain?

Biotta Juices are 100% pure - not from concentrate and never diluted.  They are packed full of all natural nutrients, and come in 2 sizes of convenient, recyclable glass bottles.

Have fruits and vegetables become a thing of the past?

One of today’s fastest growing problems is childhood obesity.  Why are so many kids packing on pounds? For the same reasons adults are: too many calories and too little exercise. "Adults are passing on their unhealthy habits to the next generation," says Colleen Thompson, a dietitian and coauthor of Overcoming Childhood Obesity (Bull, 2003). "Childhood obesity is really a family issue. To fix things, the whole family has to change."  A recent study of 3,000 kids ages 4 to 24 months found that many of the negative eating patterns plaguing adults are affecting children as early as infancy. Not only was fruit and vegetable consumption low, but french fries were the most popular choice of toddlers. Moreover, 40 percent of 7-month-olds and 60 percent of 1-year-olds had candy or dessert at least once a day.

It seems like every few months my husband and I renew our commitment to eating healthy, for us and our kids.  It is so easy to fall into the trappings of convenient fast-food and "kid-food", such as chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and macaroni and cheese.  I know deep down, that I can do better than that for my family.

Biotta has been committed to organic farming since 1951.  It harvests its fruits and vegetables from healthy, living soil and got on the organic bandwagon many years before organic became popular.  Biotta uses first-class raw products and careful processing as the key to all of Biotta fresh juices.  All of the juices are 100% pure, organic, natural juices that are not made from concentrate or diluted with water.

And where did that name come from?  "Bio" means organic in German.  Tagerwilen is the village in Switzerland where our juices are produced.  Put those two together and you get Biotta, an organic Swiss company and brand.

To see all of the fresh juices Biotta produces and where you can find them, check out our website today.  We would love to help you with any questions you have!

I recently read an interesting and informative article on making New Year’s resolutions.  Entitled “Make realistic resolutions for 2010,” the article, written by Jessica Smith, presents a doable approach to New Year’s resolutions.* 

Since fitness is often in the top five resolutions people make, it’s important to be realistic in your goals.  The article talks about exercise—types, locations and duration.  The rest of the article deals with weight management, weight loss and proper nutrition.  It presents a sensible approach to this subject, and includes these tips for developing realistic nutritional goals:

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables.  Interesting that this should be number one on her list.  What better way to get your fruits and vegetables than with Biotta’s 100% all-natural juices?
2. Eat more whole grains and high-fiber foods.
3. Eat balanced meals that contain a healthy carbohydrate, lean protein, healthy fat, and a fruit or veggie.  (Fruits and veggies again?  Think Biotta!)
4. Eat breakfast (Biotta Breakfast Drink?)
5. Don’t skip meals.
6. Drink more water.
7. Limit high-fat foods and fried or greasy foods.
8. Limit fast food.
9. Plan your meals before you go grocery shopping.
10. Pack quick, healthy lunches and snacks to bring to work (Biotta’s single serving bottles are perfect on-the-go).
11. Try eating 4-6 small meals or snacks per day.
12. Practice eating slowly.  Stop when you are comfortably satisfied.*

Biotta’s organic juices fit perfectly in a healthy diet regimen.  If eating and feeling healthier is on your New Year’s resolution list, make sure Biotta juices are a part of your plan.

Every day, we field questions about our Biotta juices—ingredients, potential health benefits, our proprietary manufacturing process, distribution, etc.  We thought that, if a few people are asking these questions, then perhaps many of you would be interested in the answers as well.  When you see our blog featuring The Juice – Your Questions Answered, you’ll know we are answering consumer questions about our 100% organic juices that may be relevant to you.

QUESTION:
I see sugar as one of the ingredients of your Elderberry Juice and Breakfast Juice.  Do your juices include added sugar?

ANSWER:
Elderberry juice is the only juice where we add sugar—organic cane sugar.  We add it because the elderberry has a very strong, bitter taste without the added sugar.  Elderberry Juice has 34 g of sugar in total; 10.5 g are naturally occurring, and 23.5g are added.

Our Breakfast Juice also lists 22.5g sugar, but all of the sugar content is naturally occurring from the ingredients of the product; there is no sugar added.  Our vegetable juices also contain sugar, but they are all naturally occurring.

Studies continue to show the benefits of organic products.  In the Fall issue of The Organic Report, the News & Trends section features an article on this subject.  It examines recent findings of a study conducted by the University of Aix-Marseille in France, commissioned by the French agency for Food Safety. 

The study confirmed “…the high nutritional quality and safety of food produced using organic practices.”*  The benefits include more dry matter, minerals and antioxidant micronutrients than non-organic counterparts.  In addition, the study showed that 100% organic foods have “…significantly lower amounts of nitrates and residues of toxic chemical pesticides, fungicides and herbicide.”*

Biotta Juices – All-Natural. 100% Organic
What do we mean when we say our juices are 100% organic?  Biotta uses only organic farming for all our fruits and vegetables.  For more than 50 years, we’ve been dedicated to producing top-quality organic juices from fruits and vegetables that are fresh from the field to the bottle.  Over the years, Biotta has farmed more than 1,700 acres of chemical-free, fertilizer-free, and toxic-free land.

But, production processes also have a direct influence on the quality of a juice.  The basic rule is: the fewer steps in the production and the lower the processing temperature, the higher the nutritional value of the juice.  Biotta extracts juice from healthy, field/vine-ripened fruits and vegetables.  Competitors often store vegetable juices in tanks to be bottled as needed.  The result is that these juices are repeatedly heated and the quality is diminished.  Biotta bottles our juices immediately after extracting the juice.

And Biotta juices are never reconstituted from concentrates, and no artificial additives (preservatives, vitamins) are used.  Biotta juices are 100% organic, fresh from the field to the bottle.  Great care is taken throughout the growing and production processes to ensure our customers receive the freshest juices available on the market.

*The Organic Report, Fall 2009, News & Trends, “Studies continue to look at benefits of organic products”
 

We all know children don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables.  An article in the November 2009 edition of Taste for Life magazine, entitled “eat your veggies,” reported that, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), “only 33 percent of all adults in this country eat two or more daily servings of fruit, and just 27 percent consume the recommended three or more daily servings of vegetables.”*

But the news regarding children is even more dismal.  The article goes on to report that “under 10 percent of American high school students are eating sufficient amounts of fruits and veggies.”*

William H. Dietz, MD, who directs the CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity states, “A diet high in fruits and vegetables is important for optimal child growth, maintaining a healthy weight, and prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and some cancer, all of which currently contribute to healthcare costs in the United States.”*

Drink Biotta 100% Organic Juices
Overall, people who consume sufficient amounts of fruits and vegetables are less likely to have chronic diseases, including stroke, type 2 diabetes, some forms of cancer, and perhaps heart disease.  So, how to get you children to consume the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables?  Give them Biotta all-natural juices. 



Check out our previous blog  for the top ten reasons to choose Biotta all-natural juices.  Biotta juices are amazing products.  We provide a unique taste experience through our natural whole fruits and vegetables, grown and harvested for optimum quality, and then minimally processed to ensure great taste and high nutritional value.

In a recent article in a local Indianapolis suburb newspaper, Dr. Carolyn Berghuis commented on the fact that many health researchers consider a proper pH balance as vital in preventing “premature aging, wrinkles, thyroid dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, impaired memory and many other degenerative diseases.”*

We’ve examined the importance of a balanced pH before in previous posts .  Because our diets are so acidic, they can make us tired and less productive, with increased feelings of stress, nervousness, lack of energy, decreased concentration and a higher risk of infection.**

When we consume foods that are highly acidic (processed cheese, ice cream, sugar, coffee, fried foods, among others), our bodies use up more energy, “and the cells no longer have the strength and vitality to reproduce in a healthy, anti-aging fashion … energy is used up rebalancing the body system.”*  The good news is that by consuming more alkaline-producing fruits and vegetables, you can adjust your internal chemistry.

Biotta Celery Root Juice
Biotta 100% Organic Celery Root Juice is a delicious way to consume one of the vegetables that helps balance your pH.  According to http://www.naturalnews.com/024596_celery_blood_salt.html, celery juice is highly nutritious and one of the most hydrating foods we can put in our bodies. Because it is incredibly alkalizing, it equalizes the body's PH, which is vital for peak health. In ancient times, it was considered a medicinal herb used to treat a variety of health complaints. The minerals and vitamins and nutrients are in perfect harmony with each other.*** Celery is high in vitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C, potassium, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and essential amino acids.
