Juicing Benefits

So yesterday, I talked about putting down the empty calories/sugar-laden soda and replace it with Biotta's vitamin and mineral-rich vegetable juices.  Here is some more information in support of that - even if you are drinking DIET soda:

Registered dietitian Patti Milligan recently did an interview with an Alabama news station where she gave her expert opinion on drinking healthy beverages.  

While most people think that switching to diet soda is the biggest step to losing weight, Patti disagrees.  "The amount of chemicals in diet soda really play havoc with the metabolic furnace - which is your liver. It does not crank up metabolism," Milligan explained.  

The truth is, if you want to move toward a healthier diet, you're going to have to drink more nutritious beverages throughout the day.  She listed five drinks to consider switching to.  One of the juices she emphasized the most- Beet Juice!  

"The compounds in [beet juice] are related to nitrates and they seem to help convert in the body a better utilization of our oxygen," Milligan said.

We are so excited to see beet juice getting the love it deserves!  We have known for years just how much beet juice benefits the body's immune system and circulatory system... When are you going to find out for yourself?

Potatoes are delicious.  You can do so many things with them and they are always so good!  However, it seems like one very important aspect of the potato is always overlooked- Potato Juice!  

Scientists have long looked at potato juice as one of the best remedies for digestive problems and one of the best ways to keep your digestive system going strong and healthy!

Studies have shown that the juice benefits the following areas:

• If you are suffering from constipation, you should drink half a cup of potato juice in the morning. 
• Helps heal intestinal ulcers
• Helps reduce the pain of people suffering from Rheumatism and Gout
• Also, it helps to clear up patches of eczema (especially when mixed with some of Biotta's Carrot Juice!)

Like all of our other organic juices, our potato juice contains no caffeine and no added sugar!  It is currently available in a 16.9 oz. bottle and you can find out where to order it by clicking here!

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!

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.

One could make a case that our vision is the most important of our five senses.  Without the ability to see clearly, we would be lost in nearly every day-to-day task.  So you may wonder what we can do to take care of our vision and help keep it top-notch...? The answer: Vitamin A!  Where can you get Vitamin A? Carrot Juice!

Do you ever get confused when you look at labels?  Juice labels, for instance, can sport many terms, including “fresh squeezed,” “from concentrate,” “100% pure,” “fresh frozen” and “not from concentrate.”  What do these labels tell you about the quality of the juice and exactly what you are buying?

The Food and Drug Administration offers these guidelines:


Biotta takes great care to protect the natural wholesomeness and taste of all our ingredients.  Instead of pressing the fruits and vegetables, which can cause some loss of nutritional value, we use a decanting process of centrifugation to pull the juice out.  Then, we pasteurize the juice at low heat levels to retain the high nutritional value, bottle our juices in recyclable glass bottles for full flavor retention, label and send.  No other company takes more care to deliver a 100% organic product. 

Here is how Biotta’s Juices stack up:

100% Juice
Beet Juice
Carrot Juice
Vegetable Juice Cocktail (in this case, the 'cocktail' denotes a blend of vegetable juices)
Bruess® Vegetable Juice
Celery Juice
Sauerkraut Juice
Potato Juice

Fruit juices are typically too tart or strong to consume at 100% juice.  Therefore, we blend our organic fruit juices with other juices as well as tea extracts to make them more palatable.

87% Juice
Energy Drink

74% Juice
Breakfast Juice

70% Juice
Elderberry Juice

What is nitric oxide, and how can it help lower your blood pressure?  The juice of dark leafy vegetables and dark red vegetables (such as beets) all produce nitric oxide.  These vegetables are high in nitrates, and dietary nitrates help to increase the amount of nitric oxide in the body.  When you drink beet juice, the nitrates are turned into nitrites and, in your stomach, nitrites turn into nitric oxide.  Why is nitric oxide important? 
Nitric oxide enters your bloodstream as nitrites and lowers blood pressure in as little as three hours by relaxing blood vessels.*  A scientific journal paper entitled “Acute blood pressure lowering, vasoprotective and anti-platelet properties of dietary nitrate via bioconversion to nitrite” was published in the February 2008 edition of Hypertension.*  It explained that, if your blood vessels cannot expand or contract to handle differences in blood flow, nitric oxide may be helpful.  And if you have thick blood that clots too easily, beet juice, in particular, may have anti-clotting properties. 

Drink Beet Juice to Lower Blood Pressure
The article stated that drinking two cups of beet juice daily may protect against endothelial dysfunction—that’s when blood vessels cannot expand and contract normally.  A study in Hypertension (online February 4, 2008) explained that two cups of beet juice can lower blood pressure by 10 points and last up to 24 hours, which is more effective than many prescription drugs.* 


Other Beet Juice Benefits
Beet Juice is Biotta’s most popular juice—and no wonder.  Our beet juice is 100% organic, made from the highest quality beet roots.  Biotta’s Beet Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. 

Beet juice, rich in minerals and vitamins, helps maintain cell functions and strengthens the body’s resistance to diseases.  Studies show beet juice may help boost your immune system.

A recent study published by Exeter University also concluded that drinking two glasses of beetroot juice per day can increase stamina up to 16%.**  Many other sources indicate that beet juice may be therapeutic for sexual weakness, kidney stones, gall bladder, kidney, liver and prostate troubles.***  Beet juice contains chlorine, a mineral that acts to regulate digestion by controlling the rhythmical contraction of the abdomen, *** and calcium, important to maintaining bone health.****

It’s important to get the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables every day to give your body the nutrients it needs to function well.  Drinking all-natural fruit and vegetable juices—like 100% organic Biotta juices—is a great way to consume the good foods your body needs. 

If Vegetables Don’t Make Your Heart Sing …
Remember your mom telling you to eat your vegetables because people were starving in 3rd world countries?  Sometimes it’s still hard to get all the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables in every day.  That’s where fresh juices comes in!

According to an article entitled “Juice Appeal lets you eat your vegetables with a straw,” author Rasham Nassar states:
Ok—drinking juice can be more convenient, but are there other benefits as well?  You bet!  The benefits of drinking juice are numerous, but one of the most important is absorption of nutrients by the body.  The “Juice Appeal” article goes on to state, “Our body’s natural ability to absorb nutrients from the foods we eat has deteriorated thanks to our poor diets and lack of exercise.  When we blend our fruits and vegetables, we are, in a sense, bypassing the processing of digestion, going straight from sippy cup to bloodstream, therefore eliminating the risk of a possible loss of valuable vitamins and minerals in our diets.”*

Another advantage of drinking your fruits and vegetables is that you end up consuming more—and different—types of vegetables than you would if you were eating them.  For example, our Vegetable Juice Cocktail includes carrot juice, celery juice, beetroot juice, tomato juice, and various seasonings and spices.

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.******
