Benefits Of Juices

Let's face it, just about everyone loves soda.  For some reason, we can't get enough of the sweet sensation of a cold pop. I can speak so confidently because I, too, am a soda lover.  Recently I have been questioning my decision to drink soda.  What is the draw?

So I decided to make a list of the benefits I get from a pop... What I came up with was a very small list of items that were hardly beneficial to my body.  I may get a quick caffeine boost... until I crash a short time later.  I feel very refreshed... until I realize that I'm actually more dehydrated than before.  

I then turned to Biotta's Fresh Juices to see what benefits I could come up with from drinking them.  That list was nearly never-ending.  Every single one of Biotta's juices is packed full of nutrients and vitamins that are essential for the body.  They are very filling, with no added sugar, no added caffeine, and no artificial colors or flavors!

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."

Although the winter has come and gone, some of us aren't lucky enough to just be "seasonal illness" people... Those colds, coughs, and flu viruses seem to still attack even when it is getting nicer all around.

For this reason, it is important to never forget about caring for your immune system.  One of the best ways to keep you immune system going strong is by including a fair amount of Elderberry Juice in your diet!

According to Buzzle.com, "The most important benefit of elderberry juice is its ability to prevent and cure illnesses related to the respiratory system like asthma, bronchitis, common cold, sore throat, cough and flu."

It does this through its very strong ability to reduce mucus and prevent congestion!

So stop the problem before it starts, check out Biotta's website, and see where you can order Elderberry Juice or any of our other fresh juices!

Of the thousands of people who suffer from indigestion every year, many people may not even  know what has caused it, they just know that eating can easily go from a pleasant experience, to the most dreaded part of the day.

The Cleveland Clinic's website has a great list of things that can potentially cause indigestion:

A disease or an ulcer in the digestive tract might cause indigestion. However, for most people, it is the result of eating too much, eating too fast, eating high-fat foods, or eating during stressful situations. Indigestion is not caused by excess stomach acid. Swallowing excessive air when eating may increase the symptoms of belching and bloating which are often associated with indigestion. Some medications can also irritate the stomach lining and cause indigestion.

Being tired or stressed, smoking, or drinking too much alcohol or caffeinated beverages can cause indigestion or make it worse. 

Now that you know some of the causes of indigestion, you know how to help relieve some of the symptoms.  For persistent sufferers, Biotta's potato juice is something else to highly consider!  The chemicals present in potato juice do a superb job at balancing the acid levels in your stomach that help to relieve and prevent indigestion problems!

Potato juice benefits a number areas of your health, but your digestion system is one of the most helped areas.

When people think of ways to improve their vision, carrot juice seems to be a popular response.  This is for good reason!  Carrot juice is packed full of Vitamin A, one of the strongest vitamins in vision health.  

According to DietHealthClub.com, "Some of the first signs of Vitamin A deficiency include difficulty to adjust the sight in dim light from bright light; for example when you enter in a dark theater or a dark room from bright lighted room. Carrot juice can effectively help strengthen the eye sight and prevent further deficiency."
However, most sources do stress that carrot juice is not a quick fix for vision.  It is most helpful in strengthening eye sight over the long run.  This is why it is important to stock up on this pure organic juice now so that you will be able to reap the benefits later in life!

According to Caring4Arthritis, 40 million people in the US suffer from some form of arthritis.  Sufferers have some options to help relieve the pain of arthritis, but most don't know about some of the most useful biological remedies for the pain.  It turns out many different organic juices contain vitamins and minerals that help to combat the pains caused by arthritis.

The most effective juice is potato juice!  You will be able to see the benefits after drinking one glass every morning on an empty stomach.

Other juices that work particularly well are carrot, celery, and beet juice!  According to Home Remedies For You, "The alkaline action of raw juices dissolves the accumulation of deposits around the joints and in other tissues." Conveniently enough, these are all juices that Biotta carries!

Many people probably wonder why we push a "juice-centered diet" over one full of just eating an abundance of fruits and veggies in their natural state.  Although we are in no way advocating giving up raw fruits and veggies completely, we do see many benefits behind drinking juice!

One major benefit would be the shelf life of Biotta's juices.  Try to keep some potatoes or celery for a couple years and see how fresh they are! You won't have to worry about drinking Biotta's juice immediately because we guarantee a two year shelf life from the date of production!

The convenience factor isn't the only thing promoting a juice diet.  There are also many health benefits:

According to Living Foods, "Although eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state does provide us with a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals, we only obtain the maximum benefits from them when they are juiced. Much of their goodness is locked in the fiber which is expelled from the body. When we juice the fruits and vegetables, their goodness is released from the fiber and we are able to drink their highly concentrated nutrients which are then able to enter our bloodstream very quickly. "
Drinking Biotta's heart healthy juice will help build up your health in many areas.  Our carrot juice is wonderful for vision, potato juice aids tremendously in digestion and sauerkraut juice has been known to even cure canker sores!

Last night, I went out to dinner with some friends to a steak house in town.  Steak and other red meats are easily some of my favorite foods, but they have a long history of giving me terrible indigestion and heartburn, which can easily ruin a nice evening.

One of the first things I remember reading about organic potato juice was its ability to prevent indigestion because of its soothing effect on the chemicals in your stomach.  I decided to have a glass of potato juice before we went to dinner to test this theory.  

You wouldn't believe the feeling of relief I had when heartburn never crept its way into my evening!  

I love having those moments when I'm reminded that all the benefits that come from Biotta Juices are not just all talk, they are the truth!  I have never included something in my diet that has had the same beneficial effects that Biotta continues to have!

Enjoy the Juice!

Fresh and crisp are the words that seem to always come to mind when I'm enjoying a nice cool glass of Biotta's Juice on a hot day.  It really does amaze me how the juice can stay so fresh tasting after a lengthy shelf time.  Because I like to buy my pure organic juice in bulk, sometimes it can be a little while before I get to the last bottle in the case, but that has no impact on the fresh taste I get!

I always get a very crisp feel when I have a glass, as well... almost like the feeling you get biting into a fresh tomato or celery stalk.  It just makes the juice taste all the more better when I feel the crispness in every taste!

And no one would deny that the best part of a bottle of Biotta is the health benefits that go along with them.  It's amazing that a bottle of Beet Juice truly is one of the healthiest thing you can put in your body!  I'm so glad I discovered Biotta!

Enjoy the Juice!

 According to Tony Hirving, everyone should put a special emphasis on increasing the amount of vegetables that they include in their diet daily.  He refers to the experts to make the guidelines and say that at least 5 servings of vegetables a day is perfect!

The article goes on to say, " To get the maximum benefits, you need to eat different types of vegetables because they contain different amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. So aim to include a variety of vegetables in your 5-a-day to get the most benefit


It has been estimated that eating at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables a day could reduce the risk of deaths cancer by up to 20% – fruit and vegetables can also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke – two very good reasons to eat vegetables, in my opinion!"

It may be tough to see where you can fit that many servings of veggies in every day.  This is exactly why including Biotta in your diet is the perfect solution.  Our organic carrot juice, potato juice, and all of our other juices are packed full of essential vitamins and minerals that promote healthy living.

A glass of juice is the perfect way to sneak in a serving while on the go or in a hurry.  Check out our full listing of vegetable juices on our website!

I was doing a little shopping the other day and decided to look into Beet Juice sold by other companies (strictly for comparison purposes).  The results of my search made me ecstatic!  As it turns out, Biotta Juices is the ONLY place where you will find the actual juice! (Seriously, Google it!)  The closest thing you would find online would be beet juice powder.

While these powders claim to have some health benefits, they cannot come anywhere near the level of Biotta.  The body benefits so much from drinking juice (just check out this previous post on the subject!)  Many vitamins and nutrients are inside beets that couldn't carry over into powder form.

With a vegetable so healthy and delicious as beets, we are proud to be able to showcase it off to the world!  Check out more information about our juice here!

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!

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!

I think I'm pretty normal that I seem to have quite an obsession with my skin.  Whenever I have a breakout or blemish, I immediately freak out and try to figure out a way to cover it up. 

I've tried plenty of things to prevent issues from coming up--usually they fall short.  Either they cause my face to burn because of the chemicals, or they leave my skin dry, or they simply just don't work.

Wouldn't you know that I was so excited to read that organic carrot juice is actually one of the best natural ways to clear up skin.  Apparently, it acts as an anti-inflammatory to clear up the skin and even remove wrinkles (a nice added bonus!)

I always knew that carrot juice benefits vision, but had no idea that it could also work wonders on your skin.  

I have to go now, it is time for me to grab a bottle and start the skin clearing process! And I might also grab a second bottle, just in case I get hungry for a snack and need some fresh juices!

Enjoy the Juice!

I decided that I was going to start mixing things up a little bit with my juice.  I love most of the Biotta Juices by themselves, but I will admit that the Sauerkraut Juice, as amazingly healthy as it is, is a little tough for me to enjoy by itself.

I just couldn't give up on it though, not after looking at the loooooong list of health benefits that come from the juice.

That is why I decided to start mixing it with Biotta's Vegetable Juice Cocktail and Oh My Gosh!  It is so good!  Something that I was pretty sure would have just ended up bearable, at best, turned out to be one of my favorite drinks!  In fact, I've started enjoying it so much, I'm going right now to order my next case of sauerkraut juice from Biotta!

I encourage all of you to try to mix things up with the juice! Do some experimenting and you might end up making quite a discovery like I did!

And if any of you think you've made quite a delicious concoction, leave me a comment and let me know about it!

Enjoy the Juice!

It's a topic we've covered many times in this blog, but it's important enough to us that we want to make sure and give you every piece of information that comes up about the health benefits that come from drinking Biotta Juices.  Recently, a group of scientists found more evidence proving Sauerkraut Juice's ability to fight cancer cells in animals and may be as effective in humans as well.

According to the article, "The investigators found that fermenting cabbage produced a number of different compounds, known as isothiocyanates, which have been shown in test tube and animal studies to prevent the growth of cancer, especially in the breast, colon, lung and liver.

According to their experiment, the fermentation process breaks glucosinolate down into isothiocynates and other compounds that may fight cancer. Previous studies have found that isothiocyanates encourage precancerous cells in the digestive system to self-destruct, a process known as apoptosis."

"Our study implies that fermented cabbage can be a good source of plant-derived bioactive compounds such as breakdown products of glucosinolates," Dr. Eeva-Liisa Ryhanen, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health. 

Besides being a strong cancer-fighter, sauerkraut juice is also very effective at treating digestional problems and even canker sores!  Click here to see where you can order a bottle of the juice today!

The following is an excerpt of a Q & A from The People's Pharmacy regarding the health benefits connecting blood pressure and  beet juice:

Q. Is there anything in the way of vitamins or herbs that a person can take instead of a prescription drug for high blood pressure? 

A. The newest candidate for natural blood pressure control is beet juice. A study in the journal Hypertension (online Feb. 4, 2008) showed that two cups (500 ml) of beet juice lowered blood pressure by approximately 10 points. That is better than many prescription drugs. The effect lasts up to 24 hours.

Beets are high in dietary nitrate and increase the amount of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide (NO) helps blood vessels relax, lowering blood pressure. NO has anti-inflammatory activity and discourages blood clot formation.

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 many 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!

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!
