Body cleanse with beets? It's true!

Sunday, March 7, 2010 by Mitch B
Beet juice has always been referred to as a cleansing juice.  It helps to clean out everything from your kidneys to your blood and your liver.  Beet juice benefits your blood pressure as well!  Many studies believe that beet juice helps to lower blood pressure when drank regularly.

Did you know that drinking beet juice is actually more beneficial than eating the beet itself?  Fact!  When you eat the beet, the fibers you ingest actually slow down the effect of the juice and minimize its impact.  But when you drink the fresh juice, you receive the maximum benefits!

Check out Biottajuices.com for more info about how you can incorporate beet juice into your diet today!

A Very Informative Press Release

Saturday, March 6, 2010 by Mitch B
I stumbled upon this press release today put out by PR Log... It is titled: "Beat Heart Attack & Hypertension with Miracle Juice"  The book Miracle Juicing breaks down many of the major benefits of drinking fruit and vegetable juice.

Here is a small sampling of the juicing benefits they listed in the press release:
  • Juices are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that are easily assimilated within fifteen minutes of drinking. The juice is quickly distributed throughout the body to build, heal, repair and restore optimum health. 
  • Juices cleanse the blood, which is the body’s lifeline. Clean blood loaded with nutrients will ensure a healthy long life. 
  • Juicing helps to pre-digest food so that it can be easily absorbed by the body. 
  • Juicing removes indigestible fiber. If a carrot is eaten, one may only get 1% of the beta-carotene, but if it's juiced, 100% of the important beta-carotene will be assimilated. 
  • Vegetable and fruit juicing helps to reduce cholesterol, dissolves clogged arteries, reduces the risk of heart attack, reduces high blood pressure, dissolves kidney stones, cleanses the liver, prevents cancers, increases energy and other health benefits
These benefits exist in all of Biotta's convenient, organic vegetable and fruit juices.  All of our heart healthy juices are 100% juice with no added flavors or colors!  Click here for a full list of Biotta products!

Beet Juice as a Cleansing Juice

Friday, January 22, 2010 by Mitch B
The more I learn about beets, the more benefits I see that they have.  Beet juice is a powerful cleanser of the blood, kidneys, and liver.  It has a long history of being a "cleansing juice".  Other benefits are that is has high levels of anti-carcinogens and very high carotenoid content, while being low in fat and an excellent source of folic acid.  Recent studies even show that just two cups of beet juice a day may reduce blood pressure (WebMD, Feb 8, 2008).

Biotta Fresh Organic Beet Juice is another healthy product to add to your diet!  Check out more on our website.

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.

•    Cranberries cleanse the urinary tract since they contain antibiotic and antiviral properties.

Enjoy Holiday Cheer – the Healthy Way

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 by Sara Cox

The party has started, hasn’t it?  It starts with one candy bar—or maybe two—at Halloween, slides through Thanksgiving turkey dinner, and ends with some holiday cheer at Christmas and ringing in the New Year.  You find you have indulged too much, gained weight and have failed, once again, to follow a healthy regimen.  

In an October 31st article in the Hindustan Times entitled “How to stay healthy while you party,” author Veenu Singh recommends certain steps to take to ensure a healthy holiday season.

1.    Have a healthy drink.  Healthy drinks, like teas and juices, can help detoxify the body and help keep us from gaining weight by drinking other, more calorie-laden drinks.
2.    Cleanse your system.  The author recommends cleansing your system after a big social event at which you may have overindulged.  Biotta’s 100% organic juices are a great way to cleanse the body.
3.    Drink in moderation. A friend of mine brings a bottle of Biotta juice to parties to help limit her consumption of alcohol and give her something healthy to drink.
4.    Snack smart.  There is a difference between snacking on empty calories and healthier snacks, like nuts and fruits.  Opt for the healthy choices.
5.    Stock up on antioxidants.  Antioxidants help get rid of toxins and boost your immune system.  Biotta juices are rich in antioxidants.
6.    Stay active.  It is especially important to stay active through the holidays.  Get moving, doing whatever exercise you can.  Any exercise is better than none, including parking your car at the end of the parking lot and walking a little to get to the store.
7.    Balance your calories.  Biotta 100% organic juice is a great, low-calorie way to help balance your intake while getting the vitamins and minerals your body needs.



Yes, we can stay healthy during the holidays, and Biotta all-natural juices can play a big part in that.  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.

Carotenoids – You Need Them; Biotta’s Got Them

Monday, November 16, 2009 by George Pappas
What Carotenoids Are
Carotenoids help keep you healthy and help prevent chronic illness.  The word “carotenoid” comes from the Latin word for carrots.  Carotenoids are natural pigments with colors ranging from orangey-yellow to red violet.  Your body cannot make carotenoids, so you have to obtain them from the foods you eat.  You get carotenoids from a variety of fruits and vegetables. 

Beta carotene is the most widespread carotenoid in our diet (found in carrots), followed by lutein (found in spinach), and lycopene (found in tomatoes).  Together, these three sources account for almost 80% of carotenoid intake.*

Why Carotenoids Are Important
Carotenoids have positive effects on your health.  The pigments, like beta carotene and crypto xanthin, get converted into Vitamin A in your body, which is so important for good vision and for the immune system.  Most carotenoids are powerful antioxidants that protect cells from damage, which is especially important for your skin, which is an organ with large quantities of carotenoids.  Carotenoids are also believed to have cellular effects that can help prevent chronic illnesses. 

Biotta Carrot Juice
Biotta’s 100% organic Carrot Juice is an excellent source of carotenoids.  After all, carrots are one of nature’s most “healing” foods—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.

Beta 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**



For more than half a century, Biotta has been producing 100% natural, organic, fresh carrot juice to health food stores and select grocers throughout the country.  Biotta’s Carrot 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.

Cold & Flu Season is Upon Us

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 by Sara Cox
Good Nutrition and a Healthy Immune System
There’s no time like flu season to boost your immune system!  The strength of your immune system can make the difference as to whether or not you get sick when exposed to harmful viruses.  So, let’s look at what the immune system is and how you can boost yours in time for the cold and flu season.

What is the Immune System?
WebMD gives this explanation:
In simplest terms, the immune system is a balanced network of cells and organs that work together to defend you against disease. It blocks foreign proteins from getting into your body. If a few happen to sneak by your biological sentry, not to worry. With a powerful "search and destroy" task force, your body deploys a host of additional immune cell forces designed to hunt down these unwanted invaders and ultimately works to destroy them.*

The good news is that you can make a difference and strengthen your immune system through healthy habits and good nutrition.  You can bolster your body’s innate ability to manufacture antibodies that will counter harmful viruses and bacteria with which you come in contact.
 

Give Your Immune System a Boost – with Biotta

One of the easiest and most effective ways to boost your immune system is with a healthful, balanced diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables.  Biotta juices are an all-natural way to get the recommended number of fruit and vegetable servings.  In addition, certain juices are specifically believed to boost the immune system.

Biotta Beet Juice
Beet juice is fresh, crisp, smooth and refreshing—and great for you!  Beetroot juice contains betacyans, which strengthen the immune system.  Beet juice is Biotta’s most popular juice, rich with natural minerals and vitamins.  Many articles have been written about the benefits of beet juice, including some recent studies that have found that beet juice may reduce blood pressure. Beet juice also helps maintain cell functions and strengthens your body’s own natural resistance to disease.



Biotta Elderberry Juice

A recent study, cited in a PRWeb® press release** noted that some Americans, particularly young adults, are more prone to illness during the change of seasons.  In addition to other measures, the article cited the benefits of elderberries in boosting immunity.  Elderberries have twice the amount of antioxidants as blueberries and cranberries.  Elderberry juice also supplies vitamin C to assist in the prevention and treatment of colds; it’s been medically proven as a strong anti-viral and immune system enhancer.  Biotta’s Elderberry Juice is made from freshly gathered, sun-ripened organic elderberries and is available in an 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottle.

Biotta Carrot Juice
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 building the immune system.  Carrot juice is also believed to balance blood acidity and blood sugar, detoxify the liver and reduce toxicity in the body, reduce the risk of heart diseases and stroke by cleansing arterial deposits, protect the respiratory system from infections, ease nasal congestion, lower cholesterol levels, and much more. Biotta’s Carrot Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. **



Don’t Forget
There are many other things that you can do to boost your immune system as flu season approaches.***
1.    Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
2.    Choose lean protein sources.
3.    Focus on healthful fats.
4.    Consume green tea, a rich source of antioxidants.
5.    Maintain a proper energy balance.
6.    Get plenty of rest.
7.    Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly.
8.    Take a multivitamin supplement.
9.    Consume friendly bacteria, including yogurt that stimulates immunity in the digestive tract.
10.    Exercise.

As cold and flu season approaches, follow these guidelines to help boost your immune system,.  And don’t forget to make Biotta juices an important part of that regimen.

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.

The Beauty Benefits of Carrot Juice

Friday, August 7, 2009 by Sara Cox
Carrot juice really is good for your eyesight.  In fact, organic carrot juice is one of nature’s most “healing” foods; its benefits including balancing blood acidity and blood sugar, detoxifying the body, reducing the risk of heart disease by cleaning artery deposits, protecting the respiratory system, reducing cancer risks, lowering serum cholesterol levels, reducing inflammation, and building the immune system.  Organic 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.*

Looking Great
But, did you know carrot juice can help you look better, too?  The detoxification effect of carrot juice helps to eliminate waste in the body and causes the skin to glow and look healthy.  Drinking carrot juice keeps your skin healthy and supple.**

You can also use carrot juice externally to help keep you beautiful.  A carrot juice and honey paste is a common spa facial.  Combined with coconut oil, carrot juice can help dry and aging skin and serve as your nighttime moisturizer.  And some people blend carrot juice with eggs and yogurt to serve as a hair conditioner.**

Carrot Juice and Acne
The fiber and vitamin A found in carrot juice have proven to been proven effective in dealing with acne.*** Drinking carrot juice is an excellent way to clear and beautify the skin.  But, carrot juice can also be applied directly to the skin to help fade blemishes away.  eHow.com states, “It is not often that you hear of the topical benefits of this healing juice.  When you use carrot juice both internally and, yes, externally, it will help combat acne breakouts and speed the healing scars caused by acne.” ****

For more than half a century, Biotta has been providing 100% natural, organic, fresh carrot juice to health food stores, natural food stores and select grocers throughout the country.  Biotta’s Carrot Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Is It True – You are What You Eat?

Sunday, June 14, 2009 by George Pappas

Carrot juice—it’s full of benefits for you, including lowering blood sugar, reducing the risk of heart diseases and stroke, lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation and enhancing eyesight.  But, as the old adage ‘You are what you eat’ claims, can drinking too much carrot juice turn your skin orange?


The simple answer is YES -- carrot juice can turn your skin orange—for a while.  When skin turns orange, it is not from the carrot juice per se, it is from the overflow of materials which have been clogging the liver and are being eliminated with the consumption of carrot juice.*


When your skin turns orange for a bit, that is actually a good sign that the system is getting a good cleansing.  As you continue to drink the juice and your system is thoroughly cleansed, the color will eventually disappear.* Though the yellowing of the skin from indulging in a heavy dose of carrots is seldom serious and will disappear in a few days, continued carrot gorging can cause medical problems.**


Organic carrot juice is one of nature’s best foods for you.  It 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, phosphorous and organic sodium.* 


Biotta’s Carrot Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.  Want more information about Biotta organic 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.

Biotta Juices in Recyclable—Not Reusable—Bottles

Thursday, May 7, 2009 by Sara Cox

Did you know there was a difference between recyclable and reusable bottles? For a long time, I thought they were the same thing. But they’re not. Biotta uses recyclable bottles, not reusable ones. 

To reuse a bottle that contained juice would require extensive cleaning. Here’s why: Unlike mineral water, fruit and vegetable juices leave a residue in the bottles, requiring extensive cleaning. In the case of reusable bottles, this would require a great deal of hot water and a high concentration of chemicals. It would also require the cost of return transportation, to have the bottles shipped back to Biotta.
 

Instead, we use recyclable bottles. Thanks to the heat reclamation during the melting process, the energy consumption of the glass production is reduced by 30%. At the same time, pollutants and CO2-emissions are reduced by the same percentage. That means that glass can be recycled quickly and inexpensively into new packaging. 

Up to 100% of the glass that is recycled can be reused. Additionally, glass is comprised of natural materials. When you look at all the variables, it is more environmentally responsible to bottles fruit and vegetable juices in recyclable bottles, rather than reusable ones. Even though Earth Day is only celebrated one day a year, we like to celebrate it in everything we do!


Biotta produces USDA organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

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.
