The Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine! (Part 2)

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 by Mitch B
In the last "Cutting Out Caffeine" post, I brought forth some of the major concerns about the effects that caffeine has on the body's ability to absorb important vitamins and minerals.  Today, I would like to switch the focus to a couple other very important health problem that caffeine poses- heart rate and energy.

Caffeine is a stimulant.  According to Dr. Dan Rutherford from Netdoctor.co.uk, "Caffeine overstimulates the central nervous system, increasing your heart rate and blood pressure."  Although studies have not concluded that caffeine causes long term problems for everyone, there is no denying that it can lead to those problems in some.

One of the most popular uses for caffeine-filled drinks is for an energy boost.  It has an impact on the body's energy levels" Dr. Rutherford claims,  "Following the initial energy surge, your levels fall due to the lowering of blood sugar."  Caffeine actually causes adverse effects!

Here at Biotta Juices, we intentionally created a line of Heart Healthy Juice that would be packed full of vitamins and nutrients that will help the body.  It is easy to see why none of our juices* include caffeine.  We are dedicated to making our products as good for you as possible.  If you want to check out the full selection of the Best Organic Juice on the market, just click here to see our full product line!

*Biotta Energy Drink does contain natural caffeine from Guarana.

Too many options? BLEND them all together!

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 by Mitch B
The only problem you could face going through our product list is trying to decide just which one of our heart healthy juice you would like to incorporate into your diet... For those of you who might struggle with this, why not start off with a delicious vegetable juice cocktail from Biotta?

What's in our vegetable juice cocktail?
  • Tomatoes- Tomatoes include lycopene and according to Livestrong.com, "Lycopene gives the tomato its red color and has been found to have antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties."
  • Carrots- "The high traces of beta carotene boost the anti-oxidant properties of carrot juice. It is the beta carotene that converts into vitamin A inside the body. The vitamin A fights to eliminate the free radicals in the body and hence fights cancer." (Home Remedies for You)
  • Celery- According to Naturalnews.com, celery juice lowers cholesterol, aids in digestion, is a diuretic, an anti inflammatory, lowers blood pressure, as well as many more health benefits!
  • Beets- Just check out this previous Biotta blog post on the benefits of drinking beet juice, including its heart healthy and cancer fighting qualities.

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!

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

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.*


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.

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 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.

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.

Drink more – Weigh Less?

Friday, June 12, 2009 by George Pappas
Recent studies have shown that people who drink at least one glass of vegetable juice every day may lose more weight than people who don’t drink juice regularly.  Lowering the risk of obesity is a great reason to enjoy Biotta vegetable juices, which offer fresh-squeezed quality in convenient bottles.

In a recent study, “adults who drank at least 8 ounces of vegetable juice as part of a calorie-controlled, heart-healthy diet lost 4 pounds over 12 weeks, while those who followed the same diet but did not drink the veggie juice lost only 1 pound.”* The vegetable juice drinkers, in addition to losing more weight, were also more likely to get the recommended 3-5 servings of vegetables daily.

The study included 81 participants.  Almost 75% of the participants had metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors including excess body fat, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol.

So, go ahead, drink to your health!  Biotta produces USDA all natural, organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
