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 .

Can a Balanced pH Help Keep You From Aging?

Thursday, December 17, 2009 by George Pappas

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.

Drink Juice to Detoxify and Cleanse

Monday, December 7, 2009 by Sara Cox
“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.”
-- Joan Salge Blake, MS, RD, LDN and Clinical Associate Professor at Boston University's Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.*

When we talk about detoxifying or cleansing your body from within, the foods you eat and the juice you drink can help to cleanse the body’s detoxification organs, including the liver, intestines, kidneys and skin, preventing harmful toxic buildup.**

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.

•    Apples help eliminate toxins and clean the intestines.
•    Avocados lower cholesterol, dilate blood vessels and block many known carcinogens.

•    Beets contain compounds that make them superb blood and liver cleansers.  Biotta Beet Juice is available in 8.4 and 16.9 fluid ounce recyclable glass bottles.

•    Blueberries contain natural aspirin; they lower inflammation and block bacteria in the urinary tract.

•    Cabbage contains anticancer and antioxidant compounds, cleanses the digestive tract and strengthens the liver.


•    Celery and Celery Seeds are great blood cleansers; they have many anti-cancer compounds as well.  Biotta Celery Root Juice is available in 16.9 fluid ounce recyclable glass bottles.

•    Cranberries cleanse the urinary tract since they contain antibiotic and antiviral properties.
•    Flaxseed and Flaxseed Oil contain essential fatty acids, particularly Omega-3s.
•    Garlic cleanses harmful bacteria, intestinal parasites and viruses.
•    Grapefruit has pectin fiber that cleanses the blood.
•    Kale contains powerful anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds.
•    Legumes are loaded with fiber that lowers cholesterol and cleanses the intestines.
•    Lemons are great liver detoxifiers.**

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.

The Other Side of Beet Juice

Friday, November 13, 2009 by George Pappas
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
If you are sensitive to beet juice and can’t drink it without feeling dizzy or lightheaded, a simple solution is to try combining beet juice with other organic juices and vegetables.  In this way, your body can reap the benefits of beet juice’s healthy properties without experiencing unpleasant side effects.  Some wonderful carrot/beet combinations include:
•    Carrot, beet, ginger, garlic
•    Carrot, beet, cucumber
•    Carrot, beet, parsley, cucumber
•    Carrot, spinach, beet
•    Carrot, celery, parsley, beet
•    Carrot, beet, cucumber, parsley, garlic **
Try combining Biotta Beetroot Juice with our Carrot or Celery Root Juices for a wonderful, refreshing, healthy taste treat.

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. 

Want more information about Biotta juices?  If you’re a consumer and want to know where to find our juices, click on the beet juice icon on the right.  If you’re a retailer that already carries our juices, click the carrot juice icon to be included in our retailer directory.  If you have any other questions, just email us.

Fighting High Cholesterol – Part 2

Monday, November 2, 2009 by Sara Cox
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:
•    Balancing blood acidity and blood sugar.
•    Detoxifying the liver and reducing toxicity in the body
•    Reducing the risk of heart diseases and stroke by cleansing arterial deposits
•    Protecting the respiratory system from infections
•    Reducing cancer risks
•    Lowering serum cholesterol levels
•    Easing nasal congestion
•    Regulating chronic constipation problems
•    Keeping the optic system in good condition, with special protection against astigmatism, macular degeneration and cataracts
•    Reducing inflammation and easing arthritis and rheumatism
•    Building the immune system
•    Nourishing the skin and helping to prevent psoriasis and acne
•    Preventing ulcers
•    Eliminating excess fluids from the body*
 
Tomatoes, found in Biotta Vegetable Juice Cocktail, are among the healthiest of foods, and that means tomato juice has some amazing properties.  As a good source of potassium, lycopene, niacin, vitamin B6 and folate, tomatoes can help to lower the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol.  Tomatoes can also help reduce the risk of colon cancer, decrease the frequency of migraine attacks, and help diabetics keep their blood sugar levels under control.**

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. Recent studies show beet juice may help reduce blood pressure and lower cholesterol.

Fighting High Cholesterol – Part 1

Friday, October 30, 2009 by Sara Cox
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.*

Good Fats
Even good fats are high in calories, so you have to limit their amounts.  Steer towards monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, such as olive, canola, peanut, corn, safflower and soybean oils.

Heart-healthy Choices
Here are some heart-healthy choices to help lower your cholesterol:

1.    Switch your dairy products.  Use two percent or skim milk instead of whole milk, for example.  Use low-fat or nonfat sour cream, yogurt, cheese and ice cream.
2.    Choose lean cuts of meat, including turkey, chicken, pork tenderloin, and beef tenderloin.
3.    Cook with the “good” oils mentioned above.
4.    Use more plant-based protein, such as beans, peas, lentils, tofu and soy.
5.    Boost your intake of food high in fiber, including oatmeal, oat bran cereal, beans, peas, apples, bananas and citrus fruits.
6.    Increase whole grains in your diet. 
7.    Use products that contain plant sterol or stanol esters, components that help keep your body from absorbing cholesterol.  These include margarines, orange juice and yogurt.
8.    Eat fatty fish once a week.  Pregnant and nursing women should limit their intake of tuna to 6 ounces a week because of concerns over mercury levels.
9.    Increase the amounts of fruits and vegetables you eat.  And what better way to get your fruits and vegetables than with Biotta 100% organic juices?
10.    Keep an eye on dietary cholesterol. Remember, egg yolks are filled with dietary cholesterol, whereas egg whites are cholesterol-free, as are egg substitutes.
11.    Order your foods fresh, sautéed, grilled, broiled or poached.
12.    Watch your portion sizes, and eat half of what you order out.
13.    Balance a high-fat appetizer, for instance, with a heart-healthy entrée.
14.    Limit alcohol consumption.  While wine may raise your good cholesterol a bit, there is also evidence that it can raise triglyceride levels.
15.    Choose healthier options at fast food restaurants.  Most have salads, yogurts and baked potatoes.*
Biotta 100% organic juices can be an important element in helping to lower cholesterol levels.  In my next post, we’ll look at those Biotta juices that may directly affect high serum cholesterol levels: Biotta Carrot Juice, Biotta Vegetable Juice Cocktail, Biotta Celery Root Juice, and Biotta Beet Juice.

More About Celery Juice

Thursday, October 15, 2009 by Sara Cox
Celery juice—its benefits are almost limitless.  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.

Goherbalremedies.com calls celery the “most efficient medicinal plants, loaded with medicinal properties.”** Last week, we talked about its potential benefits for kidney stones and gall bladder problems, nerves, heart and muscle function, appetite suppression, migraines, rheumatism and dry skin.  Here are some additional benefits of drinking celery juice regularly:.

Fights Cancer
Celery juice may help the body fight cancer, as it is known to contain at least eight families of anti-cancer compounds.*  Rutgers University in New Jersey conducted a study that found that celery contains compounds—called acetylenics—that help prevent cancer cells from spreading.  The study also found that celery contains phonolic acids; these compounds block the action of prostaglandins, which encourage tumors to grow.*
 

Lowers Cholesterol
Celery juice may help lower cholesterol in two ways.  Laboratory studies have shown that a chemical contained in celery—butyl phthalide—may reduce levels of LDL cholesterol.  In addition, celery aids in increasing bile acid secretion, and that helps to remove cholesterol from the body.*
Digestion
Celery contains special nutrients in the fiber that are released during the juicing process.  These nutrients aid bowel movements, making celery juice a natural laxative to help relieve constipation.*

Anti-inflammation
According to a study published in the Proceeding of the National Academy of Science U.S.A., celery contains a phytonutrient called luteolin, which “prevents activation of a pathway that allows inflammation in the brain to get switched on.  Luteolin also inhibits the excess production of TNF-alpha, a direct cause of inflammation.  Juice is the most efficient and nutritious way to eat celery, and people who have these conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, asthma and bronchitis) can drink as much juice as desired without overdosing.”* (Italics mine)

Lowers Blood Pressure
Even though I mentioned this last week, I am bringing it up again because studies have shown that drinking celery juice daily for one week can significantly help lower blood pressure.*  It’s because of a compound called phtalides, which relaxes the muscles around the arteries, allowing blood to flow smoothly.

Urinary Tract and Gall Bladder Stones
Because celery juice is such a great eliminator of toxins from the body, it is believed to help break and eliminate urinary and gall bladder stones.  It also helps people who drink celery juice regularly avoid recurring stones.

Increased Sexuality
Got your attention with this one, did I?  Celery juice balances the system and is beneficial for weak sexuality.*  Yet, it doesn’t cause uncontrollable urges, as some pharmaceutical drugs can.

Drink Biotta Celery Root Juice
Make Biotta Celery Root Juice a part of your daily nutritional regimen.  Biotta’s Celery Root Juice is made from freshly harvested celeriac and is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

More About Celery Juice

Monday, October 12, 2009 by Sara Cox

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.*

Be Kind to Your Heart – with Biotta Juices

Monday, October 5, 2009 by George Pappas
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.
Beet Juice
In addition to beet juice’s many other benefits, it also lowers blood pressure.  An online February 4, 2009  issue of Hypertension cited a study that showed a drop in blood pressure one hour after drinking beet juice.  The study concluded that two cups of beet juice can lower blood pressure by approximately 10 points.  Beet juice also increases the amount of nitric oxide in the body.  That, in turn, helps blood vessels relax, lowers blood pressure and has anti-inflammatory benefits as well.** 
 
An August 2009 published study by Exeter University concluded that drinking two glasses of beetroot juice per day can help people exercise for up to 16% longer.  The nitrates in beets reduce the oxygen demand when exercising.  The double-blind study focused on men ages 19-38.  They were given 500 ml of organic beetroot juice for six consecutive days before completing a series of exercise tests.  The men who drank the beetroot juice were able to cycle longer than the men given the placebo – blackcurrant cordial.  The group drinking the beetroot juice also had lower resting blood pressure rates.***

Celery Juice
Celery juice helps kidneys function better and is also recommended both as a preventive treatment and as a treatment during the acute migraine episode.  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.**** Many people find the benefits of celery root juice extend to a variety of other illnesses, including asthma, constipation, fever, fluid retention, headache, inflammation, insomnia, nervous problems and weight loss.  Celery juice provides a significant source of potassium, which is great for a hydrated and healthy skin.

 
Carrot Juice
Carrot juice—it’s full of benefits for you.  High in vitamin and magnesium content, it can be used in all sorts of eye diseases and also as a stress reliever.*****  Carrot juice can lower blood sugar, reduce the risk of heart diseases and stroke, lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation and enhance eyesight.



Vegetable Juice

Biotta’s Vegetable Juice Cocktail is a well-balanced blend of several vital nutrients.  It’s made from freshly gathered organic vegetables, including tomatoes, carrots, celeriac and beetroots, finished off with lemon juice, spices and a pinch of sea salt.  It’s delicious and good for you, too.

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.

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.

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 Elderberry Juice and Breakfast Juice.

Juice May Help Arthritis Pain

Sunday, September 27, 2009 by George Pappas
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. 

Potato juice has been used in folk medicine for centuries.**  Potatoes contain 15 different minerals and essential amino acids.  Many people also use potato juice to relieve arthritis pain, migraines, constipation, and some skin problems, such as eczema, dry skin and blemishes.  In addition, potatoes contain high quantities of starch that work with these minerals to help neutralize stomach acid.  It’s also believed to be good for cardiovascular health , ulcers, acidosis and gout.  Potatoes have anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, and contain the phytonutrient kukoamine, which helps to lower blood pressure.***  Biotta’s Potato Juice is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.  Biotta Potato Juice contains fennel juice, giving this product a pleasant flavor and enhancing its effect. 

Celery juice, beet root juice and carrot juice are also known to help reduce inflammation and may be useful in the alleviation of arthritic symptoms.  In an article entitled “Best Herbal Remedies for Arthritis” by Jessica Smith, the author suggests, “Take a cup of fresh raw juice, extracted from any green leafy vegetable and mix it with carrot, celery or beet root juices.  The alkaline properties of raw juices remove the deposits around the joints and other tissues.”**

Drink Biotta Organic Juices – To Your Health
I’m including the healthy attributes of Biotta’s Potato Juice, Carrot Juice, Beet Root Juice and Celery Juice.  Our all-organic growing and harvesting method, along with our proprietary production method, ensure you are getting the healthiest, freshest, all-natural juices available today.  Make Biotta juices part of your healthy eating program.

The Wonders of Celery Juice

Friday, September 18, 2009 by Sara Cox
Did you know that celery is actually a member of the carrot family?  It was first recorded as a plant in France in the year 1623.  Celery is an excellent source of potassium and sodium—two minerals your body needs.*

Potassium Does a Body Good
What is potassium and why do we need it?  Potassium 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. 

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. 

During a migraine episode, many people have found celery juice to be effective as a cure.  MotherNature.com states “Celery juice is rich in coumarins, substances that have a soothing effect on the vascular system and that may benefit those prone to migraines, says naturopathic physician Michael Murray, N.D., author of The Complete Book of Juicing.  Fresh celery juice may be drunk alone or combined with other vegetable juices, such as carrot, cucumber, parsley and spinach. Dr. Murray says to drink an eight-ounce glass of the juice twice a day as a preventive, in conjunction with proper medical treatment.”*****


Other Celery Juice Benefits
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.  Celery juice can help rid the body of toxins and stimulate kidney function.  Its potential benefits extend to a variety of ailments, including asthma, constipation, fever, fluid retention, inflammation and insomnia. 

Celery juice is also believed to cleanse the body of carbon dioxide, cool you down in the hot weather, curb the craving for sweets, and help eliminate muscle cramps and fatigue during workouts.******


Drink Biotta Celery Root Juice
Make Biotta Celery Root Juice a part of your daily nutritional regimen.  Biotta’s Celery Root Juice is made from freshly harvested celeriac and is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

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.  

~Melinda

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.

Another Satisfied Biotta Customer: Celery Root Juice

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 by Sara Cox
It’s always rewarding when our customers take the time to write to us and tell us about their experiences with Biotta juices.  From time to time, I’ll share some of these notes with you, not just to toot our own horn, but to show you practical applications and benefits of drinking our juices.

Biotta’s Celery Root Juice has many benefits.  It stimulates the kidneys, helps rid the body of toxins, and helps neutralize the body’s pH balance.  Many people have found celery root juice to be effective in the treatment of such illnesses as asthma, headache, inflammation, insomnia, nervous problems, weight loss and high blood pressure.  Biotta’s Celery Root Juice is made from freshly harvested organic celeriac and is available in 16.9 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. 

Here is a note sent to us by a Biotta customer:

I started drinking Biotta Celery Juice about six weeks ago. I had read about celery juice helping headaches. Eating tons of celery helped a little - then I found Biotta. Wow, what a difference it makes when the juice is from the root. The headaches are subsiding because it's also helping with sinus congestion build-up during my sleep. I woke up with a sinus headache every morning and the only thing that helped was a very expensive migraine medication. Then I read where celery juice is helpful in treating bronchitis, so it's all making sense why it's helping my congestion problem.

Best of all though, it is also helping with my insatiable cravings for sugar. I know from battling Candida years ago, just how hard it is to kick the sugar habit. Back then it took the drug Diflucan to help me with my cravings. Biotta Celery Juice works just as well if not better than the RX. I see this juice as being part of my diet for many years to come.

Celery Juice – Good for Migraine Pain

Monday, July 13, 2009 by Sara Cox
Celery juice can help rid the body of toxins and stimulate kidney function.  It is recognized for its essential oils and high potassium content.  Its potential benefits extend to a variety of ailments, including asthma, constipation, fever, fluid retention, inflammation and insomnia. 

But, did you know that many people have found celery juice extremely effective for migraine pain?  People who have tried various medical treatments and medications have found relief by drinking celery juice.

Migraines
As many as 24 million Americans suffer from migraines—severe headaches often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.  Migraines are often intense and debilitating.  The actual term “migraine” comes from a Greek word which means “half the head.”*  Causes of migraines are very complex and include physical and genetic factors, as well as many contributing triggers.

Celery Juice as Treatment Option
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.*

During a migraine episode, many people have found celery juice to be effective as a cure.  MotherNature.com states “Celery juice is rich in coumarins, substances that have a soothing effect on the vascular system and that may benefit those prone to migraines, says naturopathic physician Michael Murray, N.D., author of The Complete Book of Juicing.  Fresh celery juice may be drunk alone or combined with other vegetable juices, such as carrot, cucumber, parsley and spinach.

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!
What better way to get the full amount of your fruits and vegetables than with 100% organic fruit and vegetable juices from Biotta.  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, Breakfast Juice and Energy Drink.

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. Fresh from the field to the bottle is the superiority concept Biotta applies to our line of first-class beverages to ensure each variety is filled with the highest value of nutrients. Biotta has 11 delicious flavors; Beet Juice, Bilberry Juice, Breuss® Vegetable Juice, Carrot Juice, Celery Root Juice, Sauerkraut Juice and Vegetable Cocktail Juice, Potato Juice, Energy Drink, Elderberry Juice and Breakfast Juice. The special element highlighted in the fruit and vegetable juice is the effectiveness and health value, which range from supplying nutrients to boost one’s immune system to aide in digestion. “

Yesterday, May 27th, on The View, Whoopi Goldberg sampled Biotta Vegetable Cocktail Drink!  Click http://media.vmsnews.com/MR.pl?id=052709-2310913-X001886581 to see the clip.
