The Food Pyramid - One Size Doesn’t Fit All

Tuesday, September 29, 2009 by Sara Cox

We’ve all seen the food pyramid, detailing how many servings of each food group a person needs to consume in one day. Now, even the food pyramid is changing! In April 2005, the USDA released the MyPyramid food guidance system. Along with the new MyPyramid symbol, the system provides many options to help Americans make healthy food choices and to be active every day.

The Dietary Guidelines give science-based advice on food and physical activity choices for health. The guidelines define a healthy diet as one that:

Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products;
Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and
Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.*

You can use these guidelines to make smart food choices, find a good balance between food and physical activity, get the most nutrition out of the calories you consume, and stay within your daily calorie needs.

MyPyramid Plan
The site will help you customize your eating plan, taking into account such things as age, sex, height, weight and amount of physical activity. Once your plan is customized, you can read further to find out more information regarding each of the food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat and beans, and oils.*

Fruits and Vegetables
http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/vegetables.html and http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/fruits.html are sub-tier pages of the site that spell out what is included in the fruit and vegetable groups, the average recommended daily amount for each group, and what constitutes a healthy serving. The site is easy to navigate and chockfull of worthwhile information.

A Review from Another Satisfied Biotta Customer

Monday, August 3, 2009 by Sara Cox

We love when customers write to tell us how much they love Biotta juices. But, when they write articles about our juices and put them on their blogs, that’s SUPER FANTASTIC! You can check out http://www.fitandfabulouslife.com/2009/07/02/biotta-juice-review/ to read what Melinda has to say, or check out the excerpt below.

Biotta sent a variety of juices to Melinda for her to review. Melinda is a freelance writer who hopes to have a career as a food/nutrition writer and blogger.

Here is what Melinda has to say about Biotta juices:

I loved all of the juices that Biotta sent for me to review, but my favorite was between the Vegetable Juice Cocktail and the Breakfast Juice- wowza, these were delicious!

I also liked the Beet Juice; it had a sweet flavor and you could tell that this was pure beets! I loved the Carrot Juice mixed in with my apple and cucumber juice- it kicked it up a notch!

Biotta juices have also been featured on The View. Whoopi Goldberg, who is known to hate veggies, has fallen in love with these drinks!

I personally love that not only are Biotta juices organic but also RAW! I’m one happy girl right now.

Fortified/Functional Foods: Can You Have Too Much of a Good Thing?

Friday, July 17, 2009 by George Pappas

Pasta with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, normally found in fish. Probiotics in salsa. Soda with vitamins. Ketchup with additives to aid in digestive wellness. Even marshmallows infused with skin-boosting collagen.

Functional foods—also called fortified foods—refer to “designer foods or ones that have been modified to incorporate nutrients they wouldn’t normally contain for a specific health purpose.”*

Consumer Reaction
These foods abound in our supermarkets and consumers are eating them up—literally. In 2008, functional foods made up a $30.7 billion market, according to the research firm Packaged Facts. And that number is predicted to grow by 40% over the next five years.**

When 1,000 consumers were surveyed by the International Food Information Council Foundation in late 2005, 83% of respondents said they were interested in learning more about foods that offer health benefits beyond basic nutrition.*

Fortified Foods Are Not New
When was the first fortified food introduced? In 1924, iodine was first added to salt in Michigan to help reduce the prevalence of goiter in that state. Soon, the success of this measure led to voluntary iodization in the entire country. And we’ve been buying milk fortified with vitamin D since the 1930s to prevent rickets.

Are Fortified Foods Worth It?
But can you have too much of a good thing? That’s the question that comes to the forefront when talking about fortified/functional foods. Cynthia Sass, a spokeswoman for the American Diabetic Association, said, “The idea of a supplement or fortified food is to fill a gap, to bring a person up to the recommended intake. If you’re already at the recommended intake, it’s not going to do anything for you. It may work against you.”* Exceeding recommended doses of vitamin C, for example, can cause diarrhea, upset stomach and kidney stones.

Consider All-Natural Biotta Juices
While functional foods can be helpful, what better way to get your vitamins and minerals than the natural way? With Biotta, you can get the full amount of your fruits and vegetables with 100% organic fruit and vegetable juices. We offer a wide variety of vegetable juices: Beet Juice, Carrot Juice, Celery Root Juice, Potato Juice, Sauerkraut Juice, Vegetable Juice Cocktail and Breuss® Vegetable Juice. Fruit juices include Bilberry Juice, Elderberry Juice, our Breakfast Juice Cocktail and Energy Drink.

The pH Factor

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by Sara Cox

Our diets are often too acidic. Acidity can make us tired and less productive, with a reduced feeling of well-being. High levels of acidity can lead to feelings of stress, nervousness, lack of energy, decreased concentration and a higher risk of infection.*

British Journal of Nutrition Study
A recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition showed a strong link between acidic diets and increased risk of being overweight, having elevated blood pressure, and raised cholesterol. Acidity has also been linked to cancer, osteoporosis, chronic fatigue and even poor skin quality.**

How can you reduce acidity?
With all the adverse effects acidity can have in the body, how can we balance our internal chemistry? The article states, “Acid is caused by stress, overly strenuous exercise, lack of rest and too much fried food, meat, cola, alcohol, sugar, dairy, coffee and more.”

Sound like your diet? Well, you can adjust your internal chemistry by consuming more alkaline-producing fruits and vegetables. And that’s where Biotta comes in.

Biotta can help!

Biotta ‘Stars’ on The View – Part 1

Thursday, May 28, 2009 by Sara Cox

Whoopi Goldberg 'hates all vegetables' – at least that’s what she said on the April 24th episode of The View, ABC's Emmy Award-winning daytime talk show created by Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie. After Whoopi announced her strong dislike for vegetables, Biotta thought they could convince her otherwise.

So we sent her Biotta organic juice samples and a letter that said, in part:

“Dear Ms. Goldberg:

After hearing you voice, ‘I hate all vegetables’ on The View on April 24th, we encourage you to try these enclosed samples of Biotta, the delicious crisp 100% organic vegetable and fruit juices.

As a pioneer in the field of organic juices, Biotta has reinforced the continuous goal to produce top-quality juice from fruits and vegetables.

Juices or Juicing?

Tuesday, April 28, 2009 by George Pappas

We all know that getting the USDA recommended levels of fruits and vegetables in our diets is important. We can get them by eating them raw or cooked, or by drinking 100% pure organic juice.

Does it matter if you buy juice or juice the fruits and vegetables yourself? In many cases, the juices you purchase are not 100% USDA organic juices like Biotta juices are. So, let’s think about what is involved in juicing your own fruits and vegetables.

First, you have to choose your vegetables carefully. You want to be sure the fruits and vegetables you choose are fresh. You should juice the vegetables right before drinking; prolonged storage of even a day can damage the juice. You need to be careful about switching the juices you drink; if you keep drinking the same juice, you may develop an allergy towards it. You have to wash your vegetables carefully and clean up your juicer after each use. That’s a lot of work for a fresh glass of fruit or vegetable juice.*

Biotta’s organic juices are made from naturally grown fruit and vegetables. Our fruits and vegetables are farmed on chemical-, fertilizer- and toxic-free land. All fruits and vegetables are vine/field-ripened and are selected using the highest quality standards. We use a special manufacturing process to seal in the freshness, pasteurize the juices to retain the high nutritional value, and use glass bottles for full flavor and nutrient protection.

All of our juices are UDSA organic juices. We offer a wide variety of fruit and vegetable juices, including:

Vegetable Juices Fruit Juices

Beet Juice Bilberry Juice

Breuss® Vegetable Juice Breakfast Juice

Carrot Juice Elderberry Juice

Celery Root Juice Energy Drink

Potato Juice

Sauerkraut Juice

Vegetable Juice Cocktail

You can juice your own, or you can enjoy the convenience and peace of mind knowing that you are getting a 100% organic, fresh, high-quality juice from Biotta.

Breuss Vegetable Juice

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 by George Pappas

In the early 1900s, naturopath Rudolph Breuss developed a recipe for Breuss Vegetable Juice as an alternative method of treating disease, including cancer. Breuss Vegetable Juice is particularly suited for juice-fasting regimens because it is composed of a balanced blend of vegetables to provide the nutrients the body needs during a purification regimen.

Rudolph Breuss wrote a book entitled “The Breuss Cancer Cure: Advice for the Prevention and Natural Treatment of Cancer, Leukemia and Other Seemingly Incurable Diseases.” This book, still available today, has sold more than 900,000 copies and has been translated into five languages. It theorizes that cancer feeds and grows on protein. He deduced that fasting, therefore, could detoxify and cleanse the body, while starving the cancer. Many people still follow this regimen today as a natural treatment for this disease.

Biotta’s Breuss Vegetable Juice is produced according to the original recipe developed in consultation with Rudolph Breuss. In fact, Biotta holds the exclusive license for the worldwide production and distribution of Breuss Juice. A balanced mixture of valuable vegetable juices, Biotta’s Breuss Vegetable Juice is made from freshly gathered organic vegetable such as beetroots, carrots, celeriac, potatoes and radishes. Biotta’s Breuss Vegetable Juice is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
