Juice, for me, is just about the most perfect thing I can include in my diet. Why is this, you ask?
It contains some of the most important things in the busy life I lead!
Juice is convenient. It is just so easy to grab a bottle of
Biotta Juice and have it as a meal, or in addition to a meal, instead of a soda. No longer am I striving to find ways to include enough servings of fruits or veggies in my day, now I just reach for a bottle and know that I'm covered.
Juice is also healthy. Knowing that I can easily treat my body to an effective heart healthy juice like Biotta's organic beet juice makes my life so much easier. My health is very important to me, and Biotta makes it easy for me to see that they care about my health as well.
Juice is delicious! I'll be honest, you would have never sat me down with a plate full of beets and seen me eat them. Now, I just mix some
beet juice with a glass of
carrot juice and I instantly discovered one of my favorite snacks ever! It's is
SO GOOD! And so good for me! (what a great combination, haha)
And THAT is why I turn to juice!
Enjoy the Juice!

Today, I stumbled upon a very interesting study explaining another one of the ways that beet
juice benefits the body. Doctors have even more evidence in the powerful connection between beet juice and blood pressure. I have included excerpts from
the article below:
"[The scientists] found that drinking 500 millilitres of the juice led to significant reductions in blood pressure within hours.
The effect was traced to nitrate in the vegetable which reacted with bacteria in the mouth. This led to chemical changes which resulted in blood vessels dilating to increase blood flow.
Fourteen healthy volunteers were recruited for the study and asked to drink either 500 millilitres of beetroot juice or the same quantity of water within 30 minutes. Volunteers who drank the juice started to show reductions in blood pressure after just one hour.
After two and a half hours, their systolic rate - the pressure with each heartbeat - was around 10 millimeters of mercury (mm of Hg) lower than that of participants who had drunk water.
For the diastolic reading - the "resting" pressure between heartbeats - a reduction of 8 mm Hg was seen in the juice drinkers after three hours."Looking to buy a bottle today and start lowering your blood pressure? Click on the icon below to see where you can buy this and any of our other juices!

Many people probably wonder why we push a "juice-centered diet" over one full of just eating an
abundance of fruits and veggies in their natural state. Although we are in no way advocating giving up raw fruits and veggies completely, we do see many benefits behind drinking juice!
One major benefit would be the shelf life of Biotta's juices. Try to keep some potatoes or celery for a couple years and see how fresh they are! You won't have to worry about drinking Biotta's juice immediately because we guarantee a two year shelf life from the date of production!
The convenience factor isn't the only thing promoting a juice diet. There are also many health benefits:
According to
Living Foods, "
Although eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state does provide us with a substantial amount of vitamins and minerals,
we only obtain the maximum benefits from them when they are juiced. Much of their goodness is locked in the fiber which is expelled from the body.
When we juice the fruits and vegetables, their goodness is released from the fiber and we are able to drink their highly concentrated nutrients which are then able to enter our bloodstream very quickly. "
Drinking Biotta's heart healthy juice will help build up your health in many areas. Our
carrot juice is wonderful for vision,
potato juice aids tremendously in digestion and
sauerkraut juice has been known to even cure canker sores!

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!

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

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:
- Adenosine- Can inhibit absorption of adenosine, which calms the body, which can make you feel alert in the short run, but can cause sleep problems later.
- Adrenaline- Caffeine injects adrenaline into your system, giving you a temporary boost, but possibly making you fatigued and depressed later. If you take more caffeine to counteract these effects, you end up spending the day in an agitated state, and might find yourself jumpy and edgy by night.
- Cortisol- Can increase the body’s levels of cortisol, the “stress hormone”, which can lead to other health consequences ranging from weight gain and moodiness to heart disease and diabetes.
- Dopamine- Caffeine increases dopamine levels in your system, acting in a way similar to amphetamines, which can make you feel good after taking it, but after it wears off you can feel ‘low’. It can also lead to a physical dependence because of dopamine manipulation.
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!

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.

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...
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.
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.
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!

I was reading up on some of the health benefits of drinking carrot juice recently and couldn't help finding some of the comments left by readers of
the article. They were RAVING about the health benefits of drinking carrot juice! Here are a few of the comments I found:
"I enjoy drinking carrot juice. I drink it quite often and it aids with my weight problem and my anemic condition."
"I drink fresh carrot juice almost every day. I love it... I feel great after I drink it. You can add anything you want including ginger, mint,beets,kale, whatever you want."
"I drink carrot juice and also my daughter. I'm stopping to take any food supplement. Carrot
juice and apples are the best and feels great and healthy."
"The question was asked if you can drink carrot juice on a daily basis. I have been drinking juiced carrots daily for 13 years. My father and four brothers all died in their 40s, 50s and 60s of heart disease, so I also had heart disease, because of the family history. I had a heart attack and a sever bleeder stroke two years later, but today at age 73 feel much younger. I have good levels of cholesterol and BP."
There you have it! Straight from the mouths of happy carrot juice drinkers!
Biotta's organic carrot juice is the perfect addition to any meal and can do wonders for your body with just one glass a day! We take great pride in our selection of

According to the
American Heart Association, over 100 million Americans are at high risk or borderline-risk of high blood pressure. It is a problem that causes suffering in people of all ages across the country and is only getting worse.
WebMD has many resources for those suffering and those who are at risk. In one article they discuss diet, which is one of the leading factors in developing high cholesterol and heart disease.
They say, "
While most dietary plans just tell you what you CAN'T eat (usually your favorite foods!), the most powerful nutrition strategy helps you focus on what you CAN eat. In fact, heart disease research has shown that adding heart-saving foods is just as important as cutting back on others."
The first recommendation they make on their website is very straight forward:
Eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes. These wonders of nature may be one of the most powerful strategies in fighting heart disease. The increase in dietary fiber helps lower bad LDL cholesterol.
This is an important piece of advice to EVERYONE, no matter what gender, age, race... By adding vegetables, fruits, etc. into your diet, you can drastically cut back your risk for high cholesterol and heart disease.
There are simple steps to make this change. Instead of sodas, why not have a glass of
organic vegetable juice from Biotta? Put down bowls of sugary cereal for breakfast and instead have a glass of Biotta's
Breakfast Blend!

If there is one thing I have found true about trying to live healthy it is this: Healthy Living is a process, as visualized by the following diagram:
I don't want to discourage anyone who sets goals for themselves, those can be great! If you want to have a certain blood pressure or be a certain weight, go for it! But one thing to keep in mind is there is not point of having "Arrived." You also can't focus on one aspect of your health and forget about all of the others.
It is just as important to remain active with exercise, find ways to minimize the toxins in the body and reduce stress as it is to eat healthy. That is why we are dedicated to providing heart healthy juice for our consumers as well as resources in this blog to find information about a healthy lifestyle.

Pregnant and nursing mothers are usually constantly given advice on all the ways to make sure that their body is in top shape for both themselves, as well as the baby. It turns out that Carrot Juice can be added to that list!
According to
Home Remedies for You, "Nursing mothers are well advised, for the sake of the quality of their milk, to take carrot juice throughout lactation." They also provide advise to pregnant women, "When the baby is on its way it is good sense not only to drink the juice but also to nibble a carrot when you feel hungry."
Organic Carrot Juice is filled with health benefits for your body, and this is just another major bonus! Don't forget that carrot juice also is packed full of essential vitamins and minerals that we all need to be taking in every day!

Did you know that obesity is the number one concern for children in America today? Parents are more concerned about that than they are drugs or smoking. As health problems for children continue to grow, so does the emphasis on parents to make sure to intervene and make sure their children are living healthy lifestyles.
The
American Heart Association provides many helpful resources to parents that help create a healthy environment for their children. They give a list of ways to help teach your children about making healthy decisions...
Be a role model- Your children are learning from you! No, you don't always have to do everything perfect, but just keep in mind that you are the example they are learning from.- Keep the family moving- Plan ways to get everyone active together. Maybe a family walk, or yard work.
- Pick rewarding rewards- Don't make TV or video games a reward, give them healthy rewards that will benefit their bodies.
- Stay involved- Be an advocate! Teach your children and other children. Provide a way for them to learn and grow in knowledge.
It's important to remember that
Biotta Juices are not just for "grown-ups." The same health benefits that you find in our heart healthy juice can help your children too.
Maybe instead of sugary, artificially flavored juice in the morning you give your kids a glass of Biotta's
Breakfast Blend? Or a glass of
Beet Juice that will help boost their immune system and provide them with many of the vitamins they need!

The
American Heart Association, which is dedicated to educating the public about ways to make changes that will benefit their hearts and bodies, does a great job of providing valuable information on their website that can help anyone looking to make a change. I recently found a "
shopping guide" that helps consumers shop smart and buy heart healthy foods.
One of the more emphasized areas, the fruits and vegetables, struck me as very interesting:
- Be sure to buy and eat plenty of fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables that are deeply colored throughout – such as spinach, carrots, peaches and
berries – tend to be higher in vitamins and minerals than others, such as potatoes and corn. - When fresh foods aren't available, choose frozen or canned vegetables and fruits in water without added sugars, saturated and trans fat, or salt
- Buy more fruits and vegetables that are good sources of fiber, including beans, peas, oranges, bananas, strawberries and apples.
- Stock up on raw vegetables for snacks such as carrot and celery sticks, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and cauliflower.
- For desserts, buy fresh or canned fruits (in water without added sugars), dried fruit (without added sugars), and gelatin that contains fruit, instead of baked goods and sweets.
As a
Biotta enthusiast, I loved reading about the need for people to stock up on organic vegetable juice and fruit juice! Every one of these bits of advice lead you straight to the fresh juices Biotta is dedicated to providing.
We've always known that we provide heart healthy juice that has

When it comes to your health, the
American Heart Association has a very simple viewpoint-
At the heart of health is good nutrition.
The AHA sees all areas of your health as matters of nutrition. If you want to have an effect on your heart or your weight, it has to start with your diet. The AHA website lists seven keys to healthy eating to focus on:
- Don’t smoke
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Engage in regular physical activity
- Eat a healthy diet
- Manage blood pressure
- Take charge of cholesterol
- Keep blood sugar, or glucose, at healthy levels.
They seem like simple changes, and they are, but too often they are overlooked for convenience. You can start making a major change in your diet simply by eliminating things like sugary soft drinks and snacks and replacing them with heart healthy juice!
Biotta's wide selection of organic vegetable juice and fruit juice can help you get a jump start on healthy living! Each bottle of Biotta's juice is packed full of the essential vitamins and minerals to benefit your body!
