The first time I tried the beet juice, something incredible happended.  I was very tired, but after about 20-30 minutes, i felt revived . I have had beet juice before, but there must be something special in this brand of beet root. I gave some to my husband without telling him how it made me feel.  He also commented after by asking, "what kind of juice was that ??"  I purchase it for my friends for gifts, and have also tried the celery and carrot juice as well. I am hooked and want to be a distributor .

I was no different than most kids growing up.  When my mom told me that I needed to eat my vegetables before I could leave the table, I scowled at her and forced them down... one by one.  At that point in my life, I could not see the benefits that could come from them.

Funny how things change when you grow up... In just a quick glance over Biotta's fresh juices, you can see that they have a wide selection of vegetable juices that are both nutritious and delicious.  Biotta offers healthy juices made from carrots, celery, sauerkraut (cabbage), and beets.  Studies have been released about the health benefits of each of these amazing vegetables!

In a recent article in a local Indianapolis suburb newspaper, Dr. Carolyn Berghuis commented on the fact that many health researchers consider a proper pH balance as vital in preventing “premature aging, wrinkles, thyroid dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, impaired memory and many other degenerative diseases.”*

We’ve examined the importance of a balanced pH before in previous posts .  Because our diets are so acidic, they can make us tired and less productive, with increased feelings of stress, nervousness, lack of energy, decreased concentration and a higher risk of infection.**

When we consume foods that are highly acidic (processed cheese, ice cream, sugar, coffee, fried foods, among others), our bodies use up more energy, “and the cells no longer have the strength and vitality to reproduce in a healthy, anti-aging fashion … energy is used up rebalancing the body system.”*  The good news is that by consuming more alkaline-producing fruits and vegetables, you can adjust your internal chemistry.

Biotta Celery Root Juice
Biotta 100% Organic Celery Root Juice is a delicious way to consume one of the vegetables that helps balance your pH.  According to http://www.naturalnews.com/024596_celery_blood_salt.html, celery juice is highly nutritious and one of the most hydrating foods we can put in our bodies. Because it is incredibly alkalizing, it equalizes the body's PH, which is vital for peak health. In ancient times, it was considered a medicinal herb used to treat a variety of health complaints. The minerals and vitamins and nutrients are in perfect harmony with each other.*** Celery is high in vitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C, potassium, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, sodium and essential amino acids.

“You do not have to adhere to a “detox” regimen to rid your body of any toxins.  Your body is equipped with your liver and kidney to rid your body of any toxins and waste.  A healthy, well balanced diet that provides adequate fiber from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables will keep waste matter moving in your GI tract and aid in its elimination from your body.”
Simply by making smart food choices and eating healthy foods, we can assist our bodies in removing toxins.  Here are some foods that help this process, some of which are found in Biotta 100% organic juices.


You can help ward off toxic buildups by filling your diet with these delicious fruits, vegetables, nuts, oils and beans.  And, one of the best way to get some of these nutrients is with 100% all-natural Biotta juices.

We’ve talked many times about the amazing properties and health benefits of beet root juice.  Beet juice can help lower blood pressure, increase dietary nitrates and thereby increase stamina, aid in digestive problems, detoxify the body, build the immune system, strengthen bones, and help fight cancer by breaking up tumors.

Beet Juice Sensitivity
But, some articles have surfaced that warn about the dangers of drinking beet juice straight.  While most people do not have a problem drinking beet juice, in some people, drinking straight beet juice can cause giddiness, heartthrob, general weakness and vomiting.*

Drink Beet Juice in Combination
Beet Juice Can Increase Energy
Remember, for most people, drinking beet juice straight is not a problem.  In fact, recent research shows that drinking two glasses of beet juice daily gives you more energy.  The research showed how the nitrate contained in beetroot juice leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake, making exercise less tiring. The study revealed that drinking beet juice reduces oxygen uptake to an extent that cannot be achieved by any other known means, including training.***  The study, published Feb. 2008 in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, also showed that people who drank beet juice also had a lower resting blood pressure.

Beet juice is Biotta’s most favored juice by consumers, rich with natural minerals and vitamins.  In all likelihood, you won’t have any problem drinking Biotta Beet Juice straight.  If you do, try one of the juice combinations listed above.  Beet juice is refreshing, crisp, cool and a healthy addition to your diet.  Biotta’s Beet Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Do you ever get confused when you look at labels?  Juice labels, for instance, can sport many terms, including “fresh squeezed,” “from concentrate,” “100% pure,” “fresh frozen” and “not from concentrate.”  What do these labels tell you about the quality of the juice and exactly what you are buying?

The Food and Drug Administration offers these guidelines:


Biotta takes great care to protect the natural wholesomeness and taste of all our ingredients.  Instead of pressing the fruits and vegetables, which can cause some loss of nutritional value, we use a decanting process of centrifugation to pull the juice out.  Then, we pasteurize the juice at low heat levels to retain the high nutritional value, bottle our juices in recyclable glass bottles for full flavor retention, label and send.  No other company takes more care to deliver a 100% organic product. 

Here is how Biotta’s Juices stack up:

100% Juice
Beet Juice
Carrot Juice
Vegetable Juice Cocktail (in this case, the 'cocktail' denotes a blend of vegetable juices)
Bruess® Vegetable Juice
Celery Juice
Sauerkraut Juice
Potato Juice

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.

87% Juice
Energy Drink

74% Juice
Breakfast Juice

70% Juice
Elderberry Juice

In my previous post, we looked at some basic tips for reducing your cholesterol level, according to an article from the Living Well Center, entitled “Cholesterol:  Fighting back with heart-healthy choices.”*

You may be wondering which Biotta juices, in particular, are likely to help in the fight against high cholesterol. 

Biotta Carrot Juice is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.  Carrots are also rich in bioton, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and organic sodium.**  The benefits of drinking organic carrot juice are many.  Carotene is an anti-oxidant that has health benefits that may positively affect a variety of conditions and diseases, including:
Biotta Celery Root Juice may help lower cholesterol in two ways.  Laboratory studies have shown that celery contains butyl phthalide, which may reduce levels of LDL cholesterol.  In addition, celery aids in increasing bile acid secretion, and that helps to remove cholesterol from the body.***  Biotta’s Celery Root Juice is made from freshly harvested celeriac and is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. 

Biotta Beet Juice is our most favored juice by consumers, rich with natural minerals and vitamins.  It’s a refreshing, crisp, cool and healthy addition to your diet.  Biotta’s Beet Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.  Beet juice helps maintain cell functions and strengthens the body’s resistance to diseases.

Want to lower your cholesterol and reduce your chance of developing heart disease?  Here are some basic tips for reducing your cholesterol level, according to an article from the Living Well Center, entitled “Cholesterol:  Fighting back with heart-healthy choices.”*

Eat right, get plenty of exercise, and begin to understand your family health history.  Those are the starting points for a healthy diet and lifestyle, which may help reduce total cholesterol.  In general, states the article, your goals should be to have your “good” cholesterol higher than your “bad” cholesterol.*

It’s important to get the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables every day to give your body the nutrients it needs to function well.  Drinking all-natural fruit and vegetable juices—like 100% organic Biotta juices—is a great way to consume the good foods your body needs. 

If Vegetables Don’t Make Your Heart Sing …
Remember your mom telling you to eat your vegetables because people were starving in 3rd world countries?  Sometimes it’s still hard to get all the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables in every day.  That’s where fresh juices comes in!

According to an article entitled “Juice Appeal lets you eat your vegetables with a straw,” author Rasham Nassar states:
Ok—drinking juice can be more convenient, but are there other benefits as well?  You bet!  The benefits of drinking juice are numerous, but one of the most important is absorption of nutrients by the body.  The “Juice Appeal” article goes on to state, “Our body’s natural ability to absorb nutrients from the foods we eat has deteriorated thanks to our poor diets and lack of exercise.  When we blend our fruits and vegetables, we are, in a sense, bypassing the processing of digestion, going straight from sippy cup to bloodstream, therefore eliminating the risk of a possible loss of valuable vitamins and minerals in our diets.”*

Another advantage of drinking your fruits and vegetables is that you end up consuming more—and different—types of vegetables than you would if you were eating them.  For example, our Vegetable Juice Cocktail includes carrot juice, celery juice, beetroot juice, tomato juice, and various seasonings and spices.

I’ve written before about the wonders of celery juice, but there are just so many benefits, it seemed like a good topic to revisit.

According to www.goherbalremedies.com, celery is one of the “most efficient medicinal plants, loaded with medicinal properties.  It has many incredible powers to cure health problems.  Almost all parts of celery are used as medicinal herbal remedy; stems, leaves and bulbous roots.”*
Kidney Stones and Gall Bladder
Celery juice can help rid the body of toxins and stimulate kidney function.  Since the recommended amount of celery juice helps remove accumulated fluids, it aids with kidney and gall bladder function.*

Nerves
Celery is believed to have a soothing effect on nerves because of its high calcium content.*

Heart, Kidney and Muscle Function
Celery is an excellent source of potassium, which helps kidneys function normally.  It’s also important for proper heart function and “plays a key role in skeletal and muscle contraction, making it important for normal digestion and muscular function, too.  A heart-healthy diet includes potassium from fruits, vegetables, and legumes.”**  Most Americans get less than 50 percent of the suggested 4,700 milligrams of potassium per day. 

Appetite Neutralizer
Trying to lose weight?  Try celery juice treated with a hint of honey.  GoHerbalRemedies.com suggests it not only tastes good, but is effective in weight reducing.*

Lower Your Blood Pressure with Celery Juice
Celery juice is getting more and more attention these days, as it is loaded with potassium and magnesium.  It also contains 3-n-butyl-phthalide, a compound that relaxes muscle cells in the artery walls and effectively lowers blood pressure.***

Celery Juice and Migraines
Celery juice is recommended both as a preventive treatment and as a treatment during the acute migraine episode.  altMD, a website for alternative medicine techniques, states that one of the preventive actions people can take to prevent migraines is to consume celery juice twice daily.**** Celery juice should be considered by anyone who suffers from migraine headaches, both as a preventive measure and a cure during acute attacks. 

Rheumatism
Celery juice is believed to help alleviate the symptoms of rheumatism, arthritis, sciatica and gout pain.*

Dry Skin
Because of celery juice’s high potassium content, it is a good herbal cure for dry and dehydrated skin.*

Other Wonders of Celery Juice
The benefits of celery root juice are almost hard to overstate.  Celery is high in magnesium, potassium, iron and chlorophyll, and is one of the richest sources of organic sodium.  Its potential benefits extend to a variety of ailments, including asthma, constipation, fever, fluid retention, inflammation and insomnia.  In fact, many people have found honey-treated celery juice to help induce a sound night’s sleep.*

Heart disease is THE NUMBER ONE killer of people in the United States.  Estimates for the year 2006 reflected that 80,000,000 people in the United States had one or more forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including:

•    High blood pressure — 73,600,000
•    Coronary heart disease — 16,800,000
•    Myocardial infarction (acute heart attack) — 7,900,000
•    Angina pectoris (chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle) — 9,800,000
•    Stroke — 6,500,000
•    Heart Failure — 5,700,000*

Heart disease is also linked to emotional well-being, so a strong heart can help alleviate depression and stress, as well.

Drink Biotta Juices for a Healthier Heart
Certain juices are believed to be extremely heart-healthy.  If you have heart disease or if you want to avoid getting heart disease, making these juices part of your healthy regimen is a great idea.

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.

Biotta – A Great Way to “Eat” Your Fruits and Vegetables
Want a great way to consume some of the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables?  Biotta organic juices.  Biotta juices are delicious, all-natural and full of vitamins, minerals and nutrients.  Our natural whole fruits and vegetables are grown organically and harvested for optimum quality, and then minimally processed to ensure great taste and high nutritional value.

Did you know there is evidence of arthritis in dinosaur bones?  It’s true, and the first known traces of human arthritis date back as far as 4500 BC.  Let’s look briefly at what arthritis is, how it can affect a person, what the normal treatments are, and how alternative therapies, such as juice therapy, may provide some relief to arthritis sufferers.


What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is actually the name given to a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body.  There are over 100 different forms of arthritis; the most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.* All forms of arthritis cause pain.  Different types of arthritis cause different symptoms, have varying progression timelines and aggravating factors.*  Blood tests and X-rays of the affected joints often are performed to make a specific diagnosis.

How Do You Treat Arthritis?
Treatment can vary depending on the type of arthritis and the level of symptoms.  But, treatments generally include physical therapy, lifestyle changes, medications, dietary supplements and sometimes bracing and surgery.*  In general, the more the affected joint keeps moving, the better long-term pain relief is achieved.

Juice Therapy for Arthritis
It’s important to keep your joints intact and healthy.  One of the ways people are finding helpful with arthritis pain is juice therapy.
