Beet Juice and Blood Pressure

I love Biotta Beet Juice. My very favorite way to drink it is to mix the juice of one fresh-squeezed lemon, 6-8 oz. Biotta beet juice, and 4-5 oz. seltzer water. This drink is so delicious I actually crave it and consider it a treat, and, it's healthy. Try it for yourself!

The benefits from drinking beet juice range from reducing blood pressure to contributing to your folic acid intake.  While the beet juice tastes amazing and refreshing on it's own one trick that I have found to up the 'WOW' factor is to make beet popsicles.  

These make the perfect low fat and healthy snack for your kids on those hot summer days!  This nutritious treat has no sugar added compared to a standard grape flavored popsicle that has an astounding 8 grams of sugar in each one.  The most cost effective way that I have found to make these are to fill small dixie cups half way up with juice and put either a straw or tongue depressor in the juice.  Freeze these and cut away the paper cup.  Voila... Beet Treats to Beat the Heat!

 I'll admit, when I started drinking Biotta Juices, that was the first step I made toward support the organic movement.  I was never opposed to going organic, I just never took a step back to see how it would be helpful and what possible dangers existed in non-organic foods.

Now that I know more of the actual benefits that exist with supporting organic farmers, I catch myself leaning toward going organic in more foods.  If I see a head of cabbage that is organic right next to another non-organic head, it's an easy decision.

I know that it seems small, but I know that every small effort makes a big difference to a farmer who cares enough to grow organic.The organic movement fits perfectly with a company like Biotta, they are always watching every aspect of the cultivation and harvesting of the fruits and veggies to make sure it is the healthiest drink possible for the consumer!

Their organic juices range from beet juice to carrot juice to potato juice and everything in between!  Check out the product page to see them all!

Enjoy the Juice!

Everywhere I've been turning lately I seem to be finding more and more evidence of the power behind eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.  Researchers at Queen Mary University of London recently published results claiming that drinking a couple glasses of beet juice can help to lower a person's blood pressure.

Here is an excerpt from an article published on BabyBoomerAdvisorClub.com that describes how beet juice helps to lower blood pressure:

"Mayo Clinic explains how nitrate works in the beet juice. It is converted by bacteria living on the tongue into the chemical nitrite. Once it enters the stomach, it becomes nitric oxide or in other words, it re-enters the blood stream as nitrite.

The researchers in the new study, have found that blood pressure was at its lowest when the nitrite levels in the blood were at their highest.

The nitrites then work by protecting against endothelial dysfunction, which means that blood vessels have trouble expanding or contracting to handle changes in blood flow. They also have anti-platelet properties."

The article also has advice for those who find the taste of beet juice to be a little strong- mix it with a tall glass of organic carrot juice!

Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of Americans every year?  It's been estimated that over 81 MILLION Americans have some form of heart disease.

According to Natural News, "Researchers have found that a glass of beet juice each day beats high blood pressure."  

Recent studies have also led scientists to believe that beet juice has a very strong effect against cardiovascular disease. 

Here's an excerpt from one study...
"...animals with chemically-induced high cholesterol were fed beet fiber. Compared to the control group, the beet fed animals experienced a total cholesterol drop of 30%, while their triglycerides dropped 40%. Essentially, the beets significantly dropped the animals` risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The animals` HDL (beneficial cholesterol) also increased significantly, offering protective benefits."

A very simple, straightforward statement from organic food gurus- OrganicJar.  Beet juice has amazing effects on the body, including the ability to boost stamina during physical activities!

According to the website, " A University of Exeter team found that the nitrate contained in the vegetable leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake, making exercise less tiring. The study suggests the effect is greater than that which can be achieved by regular training.

Beetroot juice has previously been shown to reduce blood pressure.

The researchers believe their findings could help people with cardiovascular, respiratory or metabolic diseases and endurance athletes."

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!

So this morning I was faced with a problem... but a good kind of problem.  I, for the life of me, could not decide which one of Biotta's delicious fresh juices to have with my breakfast.  I tend to lean toward the Breakfast Blend, which has always been a perfect way to start my day.  It is filled with different fruits to give a very filling, energizing breakfast.

Then I started thinking that I might want to have some elderberry juice.  I've had that feeling for a few days that I may be on the verge of getting sick and I could use a immune system boost.

But, when it was all said and done, I decided to go for one of my new favorites- 1/2 beet juice, 1/2 carrot juice!  It is SO good, and provides a very strong start to the day.

Obviously, I couldn't have gone wrong, they are all great tasting and great for me... but it was a nice change from the routine.

Enjoy the Juice!

It seems like the list of things pregnant mothers need to watch over and maintain for those long nine months just gets longer and longer.  Two major concerns that doctors tell pregnant women to keep an eye on are high blood pressure and anemia.  Did you know these two problems can be combated by one easy solution: Beet Juice!

High blood pressure during pregnancy (referred to as Pre-eclampsia) usually occurs around 20 weeks.  Drinking 4 oz. of beet juice daily around this time can help to balance the sodium/potassium ratio in your blood.*

Anemia is also a common problem women face during pregnancy.  Doctors recommend turning to foods high in iron to help prevent and combat the onset of anemia.  One of beet juice's most healthy attributes is its high levels of iron.

Obviously, drinking any of Biotta's organic vegetable juice and fruit juice would be beneficial during pregnancy.  You can check out this previous post on the benefits of carrot juice to nursing mothers!

I've posted a few times about the amazing hydration benefits of celery.  Celery is perfect for anyone engaging in a strenuous activity because it hydrates the body so well!  However, did you know that this is just one of the many health benefits that come from drinking celery juice?! In face, the list of celery juice benefits can be quite long!

For example, one article claims the following...

1. Eating celery will reduce high blood pressure and give the effect of calmness.

2. Celery clears uric acid from painful joints and may help the treatment of arthritis and rheumatic problems.

3. Celery also helps the kidney an acts an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

4. Another benefit of celery is the fact that you can eat a lot of it without thinking much about your waistline. Celery actually has almost zero calorie.
Why sit and suffer from any of those problems any longer? Today is the day to order a bottle of Biotta's Organic Juice and start experiencing this long list of health benefits!

I don't know about you, but I've always been someone who has been very "goal oriented." If I know exactly what I'm reaching toward when I start something, it makes it much easier to track my progress and find motivation to complete a certain task.  This can carry over into any area of life, from work, to relationships, to health.

According to Mind Tools, "By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals. You can see forward progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless grind. By setting goals, you will also raise your self-confidence, as you recognize your ability and competence in achieving the goals that you have set."

Simple things like physical activity and getting a solid amount of sleep can be the perfect place to start setting goals.

A healthy diet can also be a beneficial place to set goals.  I've written before about the recommended servings of fruits and veggies to include in your daily diet.  Keep track of how many servings you get in a day.  Or maybe try a weekly goal... If this is a big adjustment, start small and work your way up.

Remember, it is easier to count your servings by having a glass of Biotta Organic Juice with your lunch or breakfast!  That is one reason we recommend our fresh juices to our consumers!

Maybe it's time to try to have a glass of beet juice every morning?  Or potato juice before your meals to prevent indigestion?

Whatever your goals are, set them and stick with them!  They will benefit your life in many ways!

I'm just coming off a week of feeling lousy (apparently I need to stock up on more Elderberry Juice!) and if there is anything that I feel after I get over being sick, it is a need to get up and get active.  For some reason, working out always seems most appealing at times when I physically can't.  This time, I'm going to take that motivation and turn it into action.

I'm going to use the help of Biotta's organic juices to get me going!  I've read through Biotta's blog that some of their juices have amazing effects when trying to be physically active.

I'm going to be making sure to include a glass of beet juice in my day to help boost stamina during my workout!

I'll be sure to keep you updated on how the working out is going...

Enjoy the Juice!

Juice, for me, is just about the most perfect thing I can include in my diet.  Why is this, you ask?  It contains some of the most important things in the busy life I lead!

Juice is convenient. It is just so easy to grab a bottle of Biotta Juice and have it as a meal, or in addition to a meal, instead of a soda.  No longer am I striving to find ways to include enough servings of fruits or veggies in my day, now I just reach for a bottle and know that I'm covered.

Juice is also healthy.  Knowing that I can easily treat my body to an effective heart healthy juice like Biotta's organic beet juice makes my life so much easier.  My health is very important to me, and Biotta makes it easy for me to see that they care about my health as well.

Juice is delicious! I'll be honest, you would have never sat me down with a plate full of beets and seen me eat them.  Now, I just mix some beet juice with a glass of carrot juice and I instantly discovered one of my favorite snacks ever!  It's is SO GOOD! And so good for me! (what a great combination, haha)

And THAT is why I turn to juice!

Enjoy the Juice!

A few years ago, scientists in Sweden conducted a number of experiments and found that nitrate rich vegetables help lead to lower blood pressure!  Below is an except from the study:

Each participant rotated between taking a daily dose of nitrate supplement equivalent to the amount normally found in 150 to 250 gm of a nitrate-rich vegetable including spinach, lettuce, or beetroot for three days, and taking a placebo for a different three days.

The results showed that average diastolic blood pressure was lower after three days of nitrate supplementation than it was after taking the placebo for three days.

Many of the vegetables in Biotta's Juices are packed full of nitrates that will help your body see these same effects!  Biotta has always been dedicated to providing the best quality juice possible that will benefit your body the most, including our beet juice, carrot juice and many others!

I could spend this post like most of our posts simply discussing a long list of the benefits of beets (which you can find here... or here... or here); however, I would like to take a moment to touch on one concern you may have about drinking beet juice. 

Studies have shown that some people have a tougher time digesting beets.  In some cases, "it causes sickness, vomiting, giddiness, heartthrob, general weakness."  There is no reason to be concerned about these side effects because there is an easy solution!

We realize that straight beet juice might not be for everyone, but the benefits shouldn't be passed up! That is why we recommend mixing it with other vegetable juices.  When you combine it with some of our organic carrot juice, you can get some delicious beverages.  Here are a few I found:

• Carrot, beet, ginger, garlic
• Carrot, beet, cucumber
• Carrot, beet, parsley, cucumber
• Carrot, beet, spinach
• Carrot, beet, celery, parsley
• Carrot, beet, cucumber, parsley, garlic
  

What are you waiting for? Grab a bottle of Biotta's organic beet, carrot, or any of our other organic vegetable juice today and get a new start on a healthy lifestyle!

Today, I stumbled upon a very interesting study explaining another one of the ways that beet juice benefits the body.  Doctors have even more evidence in the powerful connection between beet juice and blood pressure.  I have included excerpts from the article below:

"[The scientists] found that drinking 500 millilitres of the juice led to significant reductions in blood pressure within hours.

The effect was traced to nitrate in the vegetable which reacted with bacteria in the mouth. This led to chemical changes which resulted in blood vessels dilating to increase blood flow.

Fourteen healthy volunteers were recruited for the study and asked to drink either 500 millilitres of beetroot juice or the same quantity of water within 30 minutes.   Volunteers who drank the juice started to show reductions in blood pressure after just one hour.  

After two and a half hours, their systolic rate - the pressure with each heartbeat - was around 10 millimeters of mercury (mm of Hg) lower than that of participants who had drunk water.

For the diastolic reading - the "resting" pressure between heartbeats - a reduction of 8 mm Hg was seen in the juice drinkers after three hours."

Lots of things take energy... Whether that be getting a good start to your day, working out, or just that afternoon boost you need, you can always use more stamina.

Luckily, scientists have discovered an all-natural way to increase stamina by up to 16%!  That solution is Beet Juice!  It is one of the best stamina boosters you can find in nature.  Scientists believe that the nitrates in organic beet juice caused a boost to participants of a study.

Just an 8 oz. glass of beet juice a day can have very beneficial effects on the body, that also include lowering blood pressure and building up your immune system.

For some extra flavor in your juice, add some organic carrot juice to create a very delicious beverage!  If you are looking into buying a bottle, check out our website today and get hooked up with this an all of our other organic juices!

So a while back I wrote about considering a juice cleanse.  I only did about 36 hours, but just in that short time I felt the difference it was making.  Now, I'm not going to claim that it was the most life-changing experience of my life, but it really was effective in making me feel... fresh? It's funny, I can't really describe it.  The purpose of the cleanse was to detoxify my body, and I definitely sense the lack of toxins now!

I stuck to the Biotta Breakfast Blend for breakfast, a bottle of organic carrot juice for lunch, and then did a Vegetable Juice Cocktail for dinner (I also had 1/2 a bottle of Beet Juice before my work out).

The juice was the perfect substitute for a meal.  Obviously, you can't live your entire life off of juice, but for a quick cleanse, it was very effective.  It was amazing to see how having organic, fresh juices in my diet could make such a difference in my overall feeling!

Enjoy the Juice!
