The Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine! (Part III)

Thursday, March 18, 2010 by Mitch B
Continuing in the "Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine" miniseries, today's topic is SKIN!

Who would have thought that caffeine could have a very rough impact on your skin?  I stumbled across this clipping - an excerpt from Men's Health recently - and found what it had to say to be very interesting. 
 
Like I've said in previous posts, there is a reason that none of Biotta's organic vegetable or fruit juices* includes caffeine.  There are serious benefits that come from either minimizing our caffeine intake or cutting caffeine out of your diet completely!  Start taking care of your skin today and order a bottle of Biotta Juice!

*Biotta Energy Drink does contain natural caffeine from Guarana.

No Time For A Healthy Breakfast? Think Again...

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 by Mitch B
Mornings and I have never gotten along that well.  By the time I drag myself out of bed, get ready for the day, run around the house trying to gather everything I'm going to need before I leave, you could probably guess that breakfast can easily get left out of the morning routine. 

Sometimes it's just a toaster pastry, maybe a small glass of milk, but rarely anything that will fill me up and definitely not something with nutritional value.  This is all too sad, considering that many doctors consider breakfast the most important meal of the day!

Biotta's Breakfast Juice is the perfect kick start for your day!  It contains everything you could hope to get from a normal breakfast that you never have time for!  It also provides a great energy boost while at the same time, providing a healthy blend of fruits and other organic ingredients.  Like all of the fresh juices from Biotta, our Breakfast Blend does not contain any caffeine, added flavors, or added sugars and is 100% organic juice!

Why Did We Choose To Go Organic?

Sunday, March 14, 2010 by Mitch B
Many people may be asking why the popularity of organic foods has risen so much recently.  Also, you may wonder why Biotta made the decision to produce only organic vegetable juice and fruit juices.  To put it simply, organic foods and drinks are 100%... organic.  In the growth, harvesting, and processing phase, things like pesticides, artificial flavors and preservatives are never used.

What does this mean for the body?  According to Weightlossandtraining.com, "So is organic food better for you? Well if you consider that decreasing your toxin burden and increasing your intake of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can have a significant impact on health, then it certainly is."

Going organic was never a "joining the fad" decision for Biotta.  We've been doing it since the beginning - we're a pioneer in organic farming and production.  Our  mission is to promote good health and vitality.  Being organic supports that mission.  If you are looking for more information on our products, check out our organic carrot juice, beet juice, elderberry juice, or any of our other juices today!

Replace Diet Soda with Beet Juice

Saturday, March 13, 2010 by Mitch B
So yesterday, I talked about putting down the empty calories/sugar-laden soda and replace it with Biotta's vitamin and mineral-rich vegetable juices.  Here is some more information in support of that - even if you are drinking DIET soda:

Registered dietitian Patti Milligan recently did an interview with an Alabama news station where she gave her expert opinion on drinking healthy beverages.  

While most people think that switching to diet soda is the biggest step to losing weight, Patti disagrees.  "The amount of chemicals in diet soda really play havoc with the metabolic furnace - which is your liver. It does not crank up metabolism," Milligan explained.  

The truth is, if you want to move toward a healthier diet, you're going to have to drink more nutritious beverages throughout the day.  She listed five drinks to consider switching to.  One of the juices she emphasized the most- Beet Juice!  

"The compounds in [beet juice] are related to nitrates and they seem to help convert in the body a better utilization of our oxygen," Milligan said.

We are so excited to see beet juice getting the love it deserves!  We have known for years just how much beet juice benefits the body's immune system and circulatory system... When are you going to find out for yourself?

What is Sauerkraut Juice good for?

Saturday, March 13, 2010 by Mitch B
What do most people think of when they think of sauerkraut?  Probably German food and bratwurst?  Although those may be common things to associate sauerkraut with, all of us here at Biotta believe it's about time to start looking into the many health benefits that come from drinking sauerkraut juice!

Sauerkraut is actually one of the best foods when it comes to helping aid your digestive system.  According to Sauerkraut.com, "Sauerkraut is one of the few foods that contain the bacterium Lactobacilli plantarum. L. planatarum is a very dominant strain of healthful bacteria which helps your digestive system."  

Organic Sauerkraut Juice also works as an immune booster!  "Sauerkraut contains phytochemicals which are created during the fermentation process. These naturally occurring, beneficial
by-products of sauerkraut help boost the immune system, which leads to a decrease in a number of health problems.

Put down the soda, pick up Biotta!

Friday, March 12, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Bugs Bunny had it all figured out...

Thursday, March 11, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

The Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine! (Part 2)

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 by Mitch B
In the last "Cutting Out Caffeine" post, I brought forth some of the major concerns about the effects that caffeine has on the body's ability to absorb important vitamins and minerals.  Today, I would like to switch the focus to a couple other very important health problem that caffeine poses- heart rate and energy.

Caffeine is a stimulant.  According to Dr. Dan Rutherford from Netdoctor.co.uk, "Caffeine overstimulates the central nervous system, increasing your heart rate and blood pressure."  Although studies have not concluded that caffeine causes long term problems for everyone, there is no denying that it can lead to those problems in some.

One of the most popular uses for caffeine-filled drinks is for an energy boost.  It has an impact on the body's energy levels" Dr. Rutherford claims,  "Following the initial energy surge, your levels fall due to the lowering of blood sugar."  Caffeine actually causes adverse effects!

Here at Biotta Juices, we intentionally created a line of Heart Healthy Juice that would be packed full of vitamins and nutrients that will help the body.  It is easy to see why none of our juices* include caffeine.  We are dedicated to making our products as good for you as possible.  If you want to check out the full selection of the Best Organic Juice on the market, just click here to see our full product line!

*Biotta Energy Drink does contain natural caffeine from Guarana.

Too many options? BLEND them all together!

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 by Mitch B
The only problem you could face going through our product list is trying to decide just which one of our heart healthy juice you would like to incorporate into your diet... For those of you who might struggle with this, why not start off with a delicious vegetable juice cocktail from Biotta?

What's in our vegetable juice cocktail?
  • Tomatoes- Tomatoes include lycopene and according to Livestrong.com, "Lycopene gives the tomato its red color and has been found to have antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties."
  • Carrots- "The high traces of beta carotene boost the anti-oxidant properties of carrot juice. It is the beta carotene that converts into vitamin A inside the body. The vitamin A fights to eliminate the free radicals in the body and hence fights cancer." (Home Remedies for You)
  • Celery- According to Naturalnews.com, celery juice lowers cholesterol, aids in digestion, is a diuretic, an anti inflammatory, lowers blood pressure, as well as many more health benefits!
  • Beets- Just check out this previous Biotta blog post on the benefits of drinking beet juice, including its heart healthy and cancer fighting qualities.

Potatoes juice and your digestive system...

Monday, March 8, 2010 by Mitch B
Potatoes are delicious.  You can do so many things with them and they are always so good!  However, it seems like one very important aspect of the potato is always overlooked- Potato Juice!  

Scientists have long looked at potato juice as one of the best remedies for digestive problems and one of the best ways to keep your digestive system going strong and healthy!

Studies have shown that the juice benefits the following areas:
  • If you are suffering from constipation, you should drink half a cup of potato juice in the morning. 
  • Helps heal intestinal ulcers
  • Helps reduce the pain of people suffering from Rheumatism and Gout
  • Also, it helps to clear up patches of eczema (especially when mixed with some of Biotta's Carrot Juice!)
Like all of our other organic juices, our potato juice contains no caffeine and no added sugar!  It is currently available in a 16.9 oz. bottle and you can find out where to order it by clicking here!

Body cleanse with beets? It's true!

Sunday, March 7, 2010 by Mitch B
Beet juice has always been referred to as a cleansing juice.  It helps to clean out everything from your kidneys to your blood and your liver.  Beet juice benefits your blood pressure as well!  Many studies believe that beet juice helps to lower blood pressure when drank regularly.

Did you know that drinking beet juice is actually more beneficial than eating the beet itself?  Fact!  When you eat the beet, the fibers you ingest actually slow down the effect of the juice and minimize its impact.  But when you drink the fresh juice, you receive the maximum benefits!

Check out Biottajuices.com for more info about how you can incorporate beet juice into your diet today!

A Very Informative Press Release

Saturday, March 6, 2010 by Mitch B
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
These benefits exist in all of Biotta's convenient, organic vegetable and fruit juices.  All of our heart healthy juices are 100% juice with no added flavors or colors!  Click here for a full list of Biotta products!

The Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine! (A multi-part series)

Saturday, March 6, 2010 by Mitch B
This is the first part of a multi-segment series on the health benefits of cutting caffeine out of your diet.  

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!

(In the next "Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine" post- Heart Rate & Energy)

*Biotta Energy Drink does contain natural caffeine from Guarana.

The answer: Vitamin A!  Where can you get Vitamin A? Carrot Juice!

WYSIWYG - What you see is what you get!

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 by Mitch B
At first glance, it may not seem like there would be much of a connection between celery and your kidneys, but surprisingly, that is not the case!  It turns out that the nutrients found in Biotta Juice's Celery Juice help to stimulate kidney function!  Our fresh celery juice helps to neutralize the pH balance in the body, which helps to rid the body of toxins!

You may have seen other organic vegetable juices that claims to keep the body healthy, but Biotta is in a league of their own.  Biotta's juices are caffeine free and sugar free, with no added flavors or colors.  What you see is what you get!  A blend of vegetables and fruits that is pure and healthy.  No hidden ingredients, no gimmicks.

Benefiting from Sauerkraut Juice!

Monday, March 1, 2010 by Mitch B
Organic sauerkraut juice from Biotta is one of the most healthy beverages you can drink.  Sauerkraut has many important vitamins and nutrients that help the digestive system.  According to health advisor Andrew Weil:

"The friendly lactobacilli created in the fermenting process by which cabbage is transformed into sauerkraut aid digestion, increase vitamin levels, produce a variety of beneficial enzymes and promote the growth of healthy flora throughout the digestive tract. "

 
Just a glass of sauerkraut juice a day can provide many strong health benefits. Also, this organic vegetable juice is high in Vitamin C and very low calorie, making it the perfect beverage for diabetics. 

If you're looking to buy sauerkraut juice today or any of the other many varieties of fruit and vegetable juices, check out our website at the link below!

The respiratory benefits of drinking elderberry juice!

Monday, February 22, 2010 by Mitch B
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!
