Healthy Juices

 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!

I was doing a little shopping the other day and decided to look into Beet Juice sold by other companies (strictly for comparison purposes).  The results of my search made me ecstatic!  As it turns out, Biotta Juices is the ONLY place where you will find the actual juice! (Seriously, Google it!)  The closest thing you would find online would be beet juice powder.

While these powders claim to have some health benefits, they cannot come anywhere near the level of Biotta.  The body benefits so much from drinking juice (just check out this previous post on the subject!)  Many vitamins and nutrients are inside beets that couldn't carry over into powder form.

With a vegetable so healthy and delicious as beets, we are proud to be able to showcase it off to the world!  Check out more information about our juice here!

One of the words we often use to describe our juices here at Biotta would be PURE.  What do we mean by that?  It's pretty simple...

Every one of our juices is 100% organic, meaning that at no time during the cultivation process do the fruits or vegetables come in contact with chemicals or pesticides.  We grow them organically, and safely in order to keep them as pure and healthy for you as possible, which makes the best organic juice possible!

Also, nearly none of our juices have any added sugar (elderberry juice has some added sugar to take away the sour taste).  Also, our juices have no added caffeine, artificial flavoring or artificial colors.  

We don't want to create an artificial beverage with an artificial flavor and no health benefits.  Our fresh juices are some of the healthiest beverages you can put in your body!

I decided that I was going to start mixing things up a little bit with my juice.  I love most of the Biotta Juices by themselves, but I will admit that the Sauerkraut Juice, as amazingly healthy as it is, is a little tough for me to enjoy by itself.

I just couldn't give up on it though, not after looking at the loooooong list of health benefits that come from the juice.

That is why I decided to start mixing it with Biotta's Vegetable Juice Cocktail and Oh My Gosh!  It is so good!  Something that I was pretty sure would have just ended up bearable, at best, turned out to be one of my favorite drinks!  In fact, I've started enjoying it so much, I'm going right now to order my next case of sauerkraut juice from Biotta!

I encourage all of you to try to mix things up with the juice! Do some experimenting and you might end up making quite a discovery like I did!

And if any of you think you've made quite a delicious concoction, leave me a comment and let me know about it!

Enjoy the Juice!

Did you know that The Nibble, a very popular food magazine and website, featured Biotta Juices as a great find in the world of healthy foods!?  Everyone at The Nibble was raving about the delicious and nutritiousness of our juices.  

Here is an excerpt from their article:

We are so excited to see our products recognized for the value they have.  We are very proud of the organic vegetable juice and fruit juice we produce and are very glad that others feel the same as us.

I love to include posts every so often to give even more reasons why we choose to support the organic movement.  It's came to my attention lately that, although we usually focus on the benefits that organic products have on the consumers, the organic farmers also see many benefits...

One online page gave a breakdown of some ways that going organic can help farmers...

Organic farming helps keep rural communities healthy
USDA reported that in 1997, half of U.S. farm production came from only 2% of farms. Organic agriculture can be a lifeline for small farms because it offers an alternative market where sellers can command fair prices for crops.

Organic farming protect farm worker health
A National Cancer Institute study found that farmers exposed to herbicides had a six times greater risk than non-farmers of contacting cancer.

Organic farming is good for the family farm
Many organic growers are small, independently owned farmers who have found that organic farming is one of the few remaining ways they can stay competitive with larger-scale farms.

Here at Biotta, we have always (and will always) been completely dedicated to providing 100% organic juice for all of our consumers!  Every aspect of our company, from the cultivation, to the packaging, to the bottling, is done with an eco-friendly mindset!

Start supporting the organic movement today by buying from one of the most successful environmental sustainability companies around!  Check out our products page for a full listing of our organic vegetable juice and fruit juice!

 I couldn't have discovered Biotta's fresh juices at a better time!  It is my first go-to every time I'm looking for a refreshing drink on a hot day. (and I don't know where you're reading this from, but where I'm at, it's getting HOT!)

One of my favorites is the organic celery juice!  It actually has a very long list of benefits to it, one of them being it's ability to hydrate the body!  It keeps me feeling hydrated and ready to conquer the heat.

If celery is not for you, check out one of their other tasty, nutritious juices!  They will give you the refreshing feeling you need, while keeping you healthy going into the summer!

Enjoy the Juice!

This post explaining some of the negative effects of caffeine covers a pretty popular topic here on the Biotta Blog- High Blood Pressure...

For people experiencing high blood pressure or high blood sugar levels, caffeine can have very negative effects on the body.  Caffeine acts as a stimulant, causing high blood pressure levels to increase.

Some sources also say that high doses of caffeine can induce an irregular heart beat in those who have healthy blood pressure levels.

So what is a healthy alternative to caffeine for people with high blood pressure? Easy- Beet Juice!  Biotta's juice is one of the healthiest ways to treat problems with blood pressure because it is one of the best nitrate rich vegetables around!

For more information on natural ways to help your problems with blood pressure, or for more options to choose from instead of caffeinated drinks, check out our website today!

In recent posts, we've covered many various topics revolving around the health hazards dealing with excessive caffeine intake.  We've looked at issues with sleep, addiction, and skin condition.  Today's problem is more common in women, but is relevant to everybody- Bone Strength.

The negative effect on bone health is one of the more long term side effect of including high amounts of caffeine in your diet.  According to AHealthyMe.com, "Each cup of coffee you drink steals a little bit of calcium from your bones -- about the amount you'd get from a teaspoon of milk."

This stealing of calcium can add up after a long period of time and have severe effects on the body, especially in post-menopausal women.  "One study showed an acceleration in bone loss among older women who drank as little as two or three cups of coffee a day, compared with those who drank less or none at all."

While it appears as though there are nearly no health benefits from caffeine, the exact opposite can be said about Biotta's organic vegetable juice and fruit juice!  Our fresh juices never rob you of healthy vitamins and nutrients! In fact, they replenish them every time you have a glass!

We do not add caffeine to any of our juices.  We see the health risks involved and want to remain dedicated to providing the healthiest addition to your diet possible!

Who would have thought that this series could have lasted to a "Part VI"??  It's true! The more research I've been able to do into caffeine and its negative affect on the body, the more I'm realize how unhealthy it can be.

Today's research lead me to finding a list of hormones affected by a diet high in caffeine.  I was shocked to see just how much caffeine alters the chemical makeup of our bodies.  Below I've listed some of the hormones affected:




With enough things these days causing stress and health issues, cutting out caffeine seems like the perfect way to start a change toward better health.  This is exactly why Biotta Juices includes no added caffeine.  We are dedicated toward promoting a healthy lifestyle in all areas of your life and cutting or limiting caffeine is the perfect place to start.

All of our heart healthy juices, from our organic beet juice to our elderberry juice, contain no added caffeine and are packed full of essential vitamins and minerals that will help lead you to a healthier life!

As the temperature is rising and everyone is beginning to get excited about spending a nice, long summer outdoors, most of us are also concerned area of our life- losing that winter weight.

Obviously, there are a few key things to keep in mind when ever losing weight including watching your calorie intake, getting some exercise, and eating a balanced diet.  There are also a plethora of things you can include in your diet that would make the process a little easier, one of which being Celery Juice!

According to one article I found online, " Fresh celery juice has a mild diuretic effect and helps curb the craving for sweets which benefits weight loss."  

We highly recommend Biotta's organic celery juice to anyone looking to lose weight.  We also encourage you to check out any of our other organic vegetable juice and fruit juice options!  They all fit perfectly into a healthy eating plan by providing you with full servings of your fruits and veggies!

 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!

My last segment in this series ties in very well with this one.  Last time, I discussed the importance of adding water to your diet already full of healthy food and drinks.  This segment's key to healthy living- Getting Active!

Regular physical activity is essential to keeping the body at a healthy state.  "With regular exercise, fat deposits and excessive sugar levels in the body are reduced. The aftermath of this is that organs in the body like the heart, the kidney and liver are kept in good working condition. Thus, to live long, regular exercise as well as good eating patterns are needed"**

Making small decisions at first, like taking the stairs or parking further away from the store, will help you build up to a physically active routine.  

Fresh juices can become extremely helpful when trying to maintain a physically active life.  The Biotta Breakfast Blend gives you the perfect burst of energy you need in the morning, and celery juice has been given a very strong reputation of being a way to remain hydrated when active.

One post I wrote focused on the benefits of beet juice for athletes because of the way it helps the body gain oxygen and not tire easily.

 Kicking off this new series, we're going to stick to a topic that we already know a lot about- What you should be drinking!

Now, although we will stand true behind our juice 100%, we also know that one of the best ways to start leading a healthier life is to make sure that your water intake is at a healthy level!  Water benefits the body in countless ways... Here are a few statistics:

• Muscle consists of 75% water
• Brain consists of 90% of water
• Bone consists of 22% of water
• Blood consists of 83% water

The functions of water in human body are vital. The water:

• Transport nutrients and oxygen into cells
• Moisturizes the air in lungs
• Helps with metabolism
• Protect our vital organ
• Helps our organs to absorb nutrients better
• Regulates body temperature
• Detoxifies
• Protect and moisturizes our joints

Water is the perfect addition to the nutrients your taking in.  Water helps your body absorb everything that fresh juices bring into your body.  Biotta's organic juices are the best way to get the necessary vitamins and minerals in your system daily!

So, in addition to your 3-5 servings of organic vegetable juice and fresh veggies you're getting a day, make sure that you drink a sufficient amount of water every day (The best way to judge if you've had enough water- your urine should be light yellow or clear)

Sometimes, there seems to be a bit of an overload when it comes to advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.  Everyone likes to give advice and every persons body is different.  This is why I would like to spend a few posts breaking down some of the major keys to healthy living that are applicable to ANY person ANY time!

I wrote a post before reminding readers that a healthy lifestyle is a process.  You will never reach a point of "arrival" when everything is perfect and stays that way forever.  It takes a balance on all areas of life to make a difference.

And, obviously, we also want to show you how incorporating Biotta's fresh juices into your diet can help benefit many areas of your life!  We are so proud of our juices and the versatility they have.  Beet juice has been linked to help dozens of different issues, as well as elderberry juice and all of our other juices!

If you've kept up with this blog at all, you know that Elderberry Juice is one of the most effective ways to boost your immune system and keep the body healthy.

The powerful effects of elderberries are so great that it was actually used to fight a flu epidemic in Panama in 1995!  Elderberries helped to save a country!

Did you know that elderberries actually have many other health benefits on top of their immune boosting powers?  Some of the benefits of elderberry juice are...

• lower cholesterol
• improve vision
• improve heart health
• coughs, colds, flu, bacterial and viral infections and tonsilitis

 Today, I decided that I was going to have a "Veggie Day."  The first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was having a glass of Biotta's Vegetable Juice Cocktail for breakfast, and what a good idea that was!

It gave me a healthy start to my day and made me feel like I was fueled up and ready to go.  It takes the feeling I usually get with a cup of coffee to an extreme.  Coffee used to give me that quick jolt I needed, but a glass of vegetable juice first thing in the morning, that is full of so many vitamins and nutrients just makes me feel better...

Also, when I replace coffee with a healthy, filling breakfast, I don't have to worry about a mid-morning caffeine crash!  I am so glad I discovered Biotta and all of the organic vegetable juice and fruit juices that they carry!

Enjoy the Juice!

I just finished watching a video and reading an article by a man named Dr. Mercola, who seems to be one of the biggest juice promoters I've ever seen!  He was responding to a question submitted by a woman asking if vitamin supplements were sufficient in replacing vegetable juice.  His simple response- No.

His article goes on to explain all the benefits that come from juicing...

1. Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. This is important because most of us have impaired digestion as a result of making less-than-optimal food choices over many years. This limits your body's ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will help to "pre-digest" them for you, so you will receive most of the nutrition, rather than having it go down the toilet.

2. Juicing allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner. If you are a carb type, you should eat one pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight per day. Some people may find eating that many vegetables difficult, but it can be easily accomplished with a quick glass of vegetable juice.

3. You can add a wider variety of vegetables in your diet. Many people eat the same vegetable salads every day. This violates the principle of regular food rotation and increases your chance of developing an allergy to a certain food. But with juicing, you can juice a wide variety of vegetables that you may not normally enjoy eating whole.
   
   Many thanks to Dr. Mercola for the awesome article promoting heart healthy juice! Juice is our passion here at Biotta and we love to see others who feel the same way!  I highly recommend checking out Dr. Mercola's website that is filled with information about fresh juices.  For a look into all of the organic vegetable juice and fruit juice that we stock here at Biotta, just click here!
