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!

Chances are you've heard it plenty of times by now, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day..." Well, just because you have heard it so many times in your life doesn't make it any less
true.
An article on
MedicineNet.com offers a few pieces of advice that may help in promoting a strong breakfast routine in your house:
- Fill your pantry with lots of healthy choices for breakfast.
- The night before, try to get as much ready as possible for breakfast. Have dishes and flatware out, get fruit cut up, and prepare as much as possible in advance.
- Wake everyone at least 10 minutes earlier than usual to make sure there's plenty of time to eat.
- Encourage the kids to participate in planning and making breakfast.
- Have quick, healthy breakfast options on hand when time has eluded you -- such as trail mix, yogurt, fruit or individual boxes of cereal.
One perfect addition into your breakfast routine would be
Biotta Juices delicious
Breakfast Blend. The breakfast drink is packed full of fresh juices from oranges, grapes, and bananas. Our
Breakfast Blend will help you get a filling, nutritional breakfast and get your day started right!

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!

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!

I don't think there is a person in the world who would argue with this one, simple fact- Life is exhausting. Whether your full time job is at home, or at an office, all the chaos seems to never slow down.
One of the major side effects that a busy schedule has made in my life is a much lower emphasis on what I'm putting into my body. Mornings have always been so hectic that I just go straight for the coffee maker, get my coffee (maybe have time to toast a Pop Tart) before I can finish the morning routine and get out the door to work
I've recently decided to make a change to the way I handle mornings. That is why I started looking into Biotta Juice's
Breakfast Blend. I realized that it packs plenty of natural energy to get my day started, without loaded me up with empty calories like a cup of coffee.
So, if you're finding your mornings to be just a little too busy for a big, balanced breakfast, I'd say start with something simple like a glass of pure organic juice and see the difference it makes!
Enjoy the Juice!

This is the third part in a series devoted to giving you overall tips on how to enjoy living a healthy lifestyle... So far we have focused on water intake and physical activity, today we are going to look at the opposite of physical activity-
Sleep!
Many of us would claim that the American outlook on life is "There just aren't enough hours in the day..." We're constantly waking up earlier and staying up later just trying to stay caught up.
Many sources still say that adults need at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night in order to stay healthy.
One way to help get more sleep at night is to eliminate caffeine from your diet, or at least within a few hours of going to sleep. Why not replace the sugary, caffeinated soda with some organic vegetable juice from
Biotta?
You will also have a much more refreshing feeling when you wake up in the morning after a good night's sleep. You will be able to reach for a bottle of
carrot juice,
beet juice, or maybe
Biotta's Breakfast Blend for a healthy way to start your day!
Biotta's juices fit perfectly into anyone's plan for healthy living. For more information about the juices or where you can buy them, check out the

My last segment in this series ties in very well with this one. Last time, I discussed the importance of adding water to your diet already full of healthy food and drinks. This segment's
key to healthy living-
Getting Active! Regular physical activity is essential to keeping the body at a healthy state. "
With regular exercise, fat deposits and excessive sugar levels in the body are reduced. The aftermath of this is that organs in the body like the heart, the kidney and liver are kept in good working condition. Thus, to live long, regular exercise as well as good eating patterns are needed"**
Making small decisions at first, like taking the stairs or parking further away from the store, will help you build up to a physically active routine.
Fresh juices can become extremely helpful when trying to maintain a physically active life. The
Biotta Breakfast Blend gives you the perfect burst of energy you need in the morning, and
celery juice has been given a very strong reputation of being a way to remain hydrated when active.
One post I wrote focused on the benefits of
beet juice for athletes because of the way it helps the body gain oxygen and not tire easily.

Today, I decided that I was going to have a "Veggie Day." The first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was having a glass of Biotta's V
egetable Juice Cocktail for breakfast, and what a good idea that was!
It gave me a healthy start to my day and made me feel like I was fueled up and ready to go. It takes the feeling I usually get with a cup of coffee to an extreme. Coffee used to give me that quick jolt I needed, but a glass of vegetable juice first thing in the morning, that is full of so many vitamins and nutrients just makes me
feel better...
Also, when I replace coffee with a healthy, filling breakfast, I don't have to worry about a mid-morning caffeine crash! I am so glad I discovered Biotta and all of the organic vegetable juice and fruit juices that they carry!
Enjoy the Juice!

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!

When you read the title of this post, you probably laughed. When you look at your mile-long to-do list and the time you don't have to finish it, you (myself included) can't help; but laugh at the idea of reducing stress levels.
Obviously,
Biotta's juices aren't going to magically complete all of your tasks (we're working on that formula), but our juices can help in managing and even reducing the amount of stress your body takes on.
One suggestion might be a glass of our
Breakfast Blend in the morning to help give you the energy you need to make it through the day!
Another, more scientific approach would be
Elderberry Juice! Research shows that elderberry juice has very significant effects on reducing stress.
According to one scientist who completed
the study,
“We only gave these people the elderberry for ten days,” he notes with expansive hand gestures. “We put them through typical stress tests, all the usual physical challenges, and the results were so remarkable, I checked them over and over.”
In the study, various bio-markers of stress, including glucose, magnesium and other plasma chemical levels, were analyzed. “What we found was that elderberry has this extraordinary effect for reducing stress,” Porta found that daily intake of elderberry extract greatly decreased susceptibility to stress, and significantly shortened recovery time from physical exertion."
Who knew that fresh juices could produce such beneficial results in the body!? So next time the boss walks by and starts asking you about your TPS Reports, instead of reaching for the stress ball, reach for a bottle of
Elderberry Juice!

I was talking to a friend the other day who said she was planning on doing a body cleanse. I've
heard of people doing them before, but have never really considered one myself. She started describing what exactly it entailed and what it does to the body and, I must say, it sounded very intriguing.
From what I've read, it sounds like a juice cleanse with organic vegetable juice and fruit juice would be on of the healthiest and most effective types of cleanses to do. During a juice body cleanse, your body gets a chance to rid itself of toxins that it couldn't if you were eating solid foods.
After reading up on the topic, it looks like a bottle of Biotta's
Breakfast Blend for breakfast, some
Beet Juice for lunch, and
Carrot Juice for dinner may be a good place to start.
Anyone out there ever done a juice cleanse and have any advice?
Happy Juicing!

Our
Breakfast Blend is one of our favorite products! It serves so many health purposes and provided the body with so many nutrients! The Breakfast Blend contains juice from various fruits
that are all packed full of health benefits... Below are a few!
Orange Juice-
Various medical studies show that orange juice may help lower both cholesterol levels and blood pressure levels, which are two very common problems among middle aged men and women.
Grape Juice- For best results in boosting the level of iron, drink grape juice.
Banana Puree-
Because of the abundance of vitamins and minerals, bananas are a great source of natural energy. Eating only two bananas will give you enough energy to exercise or workout for an hour and a half.
So there you have it... Just a quick look into some of the health benefits of the juices included in our
Breakfast Blend, one of our many organic fresh juices offered by Biotta Juice! Here at Biotta, we are always dedicated to providing the healthiest juice possible!

If there is one thing I have found true about trying to live healthy it is this: Healthy Living is a process, as visualized by the following diagram:
I don't want to discourage anyone who sets goals for themselves, those can be great! If you want to have a certain blood pressure or be a certain weight, go for it! But one thing to keep in mind is there is not point of having "Arrived." You also can't focus on one aspect of your health and forget about all of the others.
It is just as important to remain active with exercise, find ways to minimize the toxins in the body and reduce stress as it is to eat healthy. That is why we are dedicated to providing heart healthy juice for our consumers as well as resources in this blog to find information about a healthy lifestyle.
There are few areas of your health that
Biotta's organic juice don't benefit. Our juices have been proven to help everything from
cancer, to canker sores, to indigestion, to vision, to lowering blood pressure.If you want more information about our

Did you know that obesity is the number one concern for children in America today? Parents are more concerned about that than they are drugs or smoking. As health problems for children continue to grow, so does the emphasis on parents to make sure to intervene and make sure their children are living healthy lifestyles.
The
American Heart Association provides many helpful resources to parents that help create a healthy environment for their children. They give a list of ways to help teach your children about making healthy decisions...
Be a role model- Your children are learning from you! No, you don't always have to do everything perfect, but just keep in mind that you are the example they are learning from.- Keep the family moving- Plan ways to get everyone active together. Maybe a family walk, or yard work.
- Pick rewarding rewards- Don't make TV or video games a reward, give them healthy rewards that will benefit their bodies.
- Stay involved- Be an advocate! Teach your children and other children. Provide a way for them to learn and grow in knowledge.
It's important to remember that
Biotta Juices are not just for "grown-ups." The same health benefits that you find in our heart healthy juice can help your children too.
Maybe instead of sugary, artificially flavored juice in the morning you give your kids a glass of Biotta's
Breakfast Blend? Or a glass of
Beet Juice that will help boost their immune system and provide them with many of the vitamins they need!

Ever wondered what exactly it means when a juice advertises itself as being "100% Juice?" If you're interested in
Biotta's juices, this would be a piece of information you would probably like to know!
Nearly every one of our juices are 100% Juice. This means that there is nothing else added in. No additives, preservatives, or anything else that may lead it to being "from concentrate." Mixed juices can only be 100% Juice if all included fruits or vegetables are 100% pure.
Here is the breakdown of Biotta's Juices:
100% Juice Beet
Carrot
Vegetable Juice Cocktail (in this case, the 'cocktail' denotes a blend of vegetable juices)
Bruess® Vegetable Juice
Celery
Sauerkraut
Potato
Fruit juices are typically too tart or strong to consume at 100% juice. Therefore, we blend our organic fruit juices with other juices as well as tea extracts to make them more palatable. 74% Juice Breakfast Blend
70% Juice Elderberry
We take pride in the natural, healthy, organic qualities of our juices, which is why we produce the purest juice we can! For a full nutritional breakdown of any of our juices, just check out the
products page and take a look!

Over the past few posts, I have focused on everything from caffeine and its effect on your heart health and skin health. The more research I do into caffeine, the more I see how much your body can benefit from eliminating it from your diet, or at least reducing intake.
Today's focus is something that occasionally gets overlooked-
Caffeine Addiction.
Many times you'll hear people claim that they "
Can't function until I've had my coffee!" This usually comes off jokingly, but the health implications are not a joke. Not only are people causing damage to the body through the caffeine, but the withdraw can also take a major toll on the body when caffeine is not ingested.
According to
MedicineNet.com, "A review and analysis of the effects of caffeine abstinence in humans claims that the withdrawal symptoms experienced are proof of physical dependence. These symptoms include
headache, tiredness/fatigue, decreased energy/activeness, decreased alertness/attentiveness, drowsiness/sleepiness, decreased contentedness/well-being, depressed mood, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and felling muzzy/foggy/not clearheaded."
The article also claims that these effects start about 12 hours after your last
caffeinated drink and can
last up to 50 hours!
It's safe to say that anything that causes that much dependence on the body is not good for it. This is exactly why
Biotta has always been dedicated to providing caffeine-free, organic vegetable juices and fruit juices.
If you're looking for fresh juices to replace your morning cup of coffee, why not try our
Vegetable Juice Cocktail or our
Breakfast Blend!

Just a few years ago, the classic food pyramid was replaced by a newly designed pyramid that made it easier for people to follow the recommendations and be smart when choosing what they are eating and drinking.
After looking over the full list of vegetables, its great to see that
ALL FIVE of
Biotta's Organic Vegetable Juices are included on the list of recommended vegetables. Whether you want to have a glass of carrot juice with breakfast or some celery juice before a workout, you will get all of the vegetable benefits through our juices.
The question most people have is, "How many servings should I have every day?"
Although it varies with age and gender, the recommended servings per day is 2.5-3 cups. (
For a breakdown of what a "cup" is and a weekly plan, click here)
Why wait any longer?
Order some Biotta Juice today and start climbing the pyramid!

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!

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.
