Faced with a (good) problem...

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 by Natalie Hadley
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!

Beet Juice During Pregnancy

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Why I choose juice...

Saturday, August 7, 2010 by Natalie Hadley
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!

Too Early to Think About Osteoporosis? Think Again...

Thursday, August 5, 2010 by Mitch B
Statistics say that women have a higher risk of dying from osteoporosis than breast cancer...  Thisosteoporosis is highly caused by women's lack of caution during early stages of life to prevent the onset of osteoporosis (disease causing deterioration of the bones).

It's never too early to start thinking of ways to prevent osteoporosis.  According to HealingDaily.com, "Would you like to know how to help prevent osteoporosis? EAT VEGETABLES! Vegetables help to preserve your bones, and help fight the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis. Juicing is an excellent way to make fresh vegetables a major part of your healing diet."

One of the easiest ways to start prevention early is by including organic vegetable juice in your daily diet.  With our fresh juices at Biotta, you'll see that your health is our number one concern and priority!  

We have the following vegetable juices available:Check out more information about our vegetable juices today and see how you can start making healthy decisions that will benefit you for the rest of your life!

Nitrate Rich Veggies Lower Blood Pressure

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Don't Be Afraid to Mix Up the Beet Juice

Sunday, August 1, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Carrot Juice Benefits Vision

Monday, July 26, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

What are you waiting for?  Head over to Biotta Juice's website today and see where you can order a bottle!

Considering a cleanse... The follow-up.

Sunday, July 25, 2010 by Natalie Hadley
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!

Juices Relieve Arthritis Pain!

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Start Drinking Juice Today!

Monday, July 19, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Increase Your Vegetable Intake

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 by Mitch B
 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!

Don't Be Afraid to Mix It Up!

Sunday, July 11, 2010 by Mitch B
Here at Biotta, we completely understand that some of our juices may be more of an acquired taste than others.  That is why we want to encourage you to try mixing some of the juices and see what you think!

Most people would agree that carrot juice is one of the most delicious juices around, which is why it goes very well when mixed with a glass of organic beet juice, which some people find to be too strong to drink by itself.

Mixing carrot juice with nearly any of our juices may make them much easier on the palate, and over time you can wean yourself to drinking the straight juice.

Do you have any success stories on creating your own juice cocktails using Biotta's organic juice?  Leave us a comment or send us an email today!

Juice and skin care...

Thursday, June 24, 2010 by Natalie Hadley
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!

Even More Benefits from Carrot Juice

Thursday, June 17, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Keys to Healthy Living (Part III)

Tuesday, June 8, 2010 by Mitch B
 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 website today!

Happy Juice Drinkers!

Saturday, May 29, 2010 by Mitch B
I was reading up on some of the health benefits of drinking carrot juice recently and couldn't help finding some of the comments left by readers of the article.  They were RAVING about the health benefits of drinking carrot juice!  Here are a few of the comments I found:

"I enjoy drinking carrot juice. I drink it quite often and it aids with my weight problem and my anemic condition."

"I drink fresh carrot juice almost every day. I love it... I feel great after I drink it. You can add anything you want including ginger, mint,beets,kale, whatever you want."

"I drink carrot juice and also my daughter. I'm stopping to take any food supplement. Carrot juice and apples are the best and feels great and healthy."

"The question was asked if you can drink carrot juice on a daily basis. I have been drinking juiced carrots daily for 13 years. My father and four brothers all died in their 40s, 50s and 60s of heart disease, so I also had heart disease, because of the family history. I had a heart attack and a sever bleeder stroke two years later,
but today at age 73 feel much younger.  I have good levels of cholesterol and BP."

There you have it! Straight from the mouths of happy carrot juice drinkers!  Biotta's organic carrot juice is the perfect addition to any meal and can do wonders for your body with just one glass a day!  We take great pride in our selection of organic vegetable juice and fruit juice, so we're always happy to see people raving about the benefits of drinking fresh juices!

This SoCal Radio Station Knows Its Juices!

Saturday, May 22, 2010 by Mitch B
Recently, Hometown Station AM 1220 in Southern California posted a piece discussing the benefits of going to fresh juices over other drink possibilities.  Below I have included some highlights from the article:
  • Celery- The minerals contained in celery juice make the body better able to use calcium, balancing the blood's pH. Celery juice is thought to have a calming effect on the nervous system, and to reduce one's appetite for sweets. 
  • Carrot- Carrot juice is an extremely rich source of beta carotene, which is converted by the body into pro-vitamin A (natural vitamin A). Vitamin A is essential for the normal development and health of many body tissues, including the skin and eyes. 
  • Beet- Known as a blood builder and kidney purifier, beet juice is a good source of vitamin B-6 and minerals like chlorine, iron, sodium and potassium.
So there you have it!  The facts are everywhere: Including juices in your diet is one of the healthiest changes you can make to your lifestyle.

Luckily, Biotta carries all of those juices and you can click here to see where to order some today!
