Nitrate Rich Vegetables

A few years ago, scientists in Sweden conducted a number of experiments and found that nitrate rich vegetables help lead to lower blood pressure!  Below is an except from the study:

Each participant rotated between taking a daily dose of nitrate supplement equivalent to the amount normally found in 150 to 250 gm of a nitrate-rich vegetable including spinach, lettuce, or beetroot for three days, and taking a placebo for a different three days.

The results showed that average diastolic blood pressure was lower after three days of nitrate supplementation than it was after taking the placebo for three days.

Many of the vegetables in Biotta's Juices are packed full of nitrates that will help your body see these same effects!  Biotta has always been dedicated to providing the best quality juice possible that will benefit your body the most, including our beet juice, carrot juice and many others!

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."

Luckily, scientists have discovered an all-natural way to increase stamina by up to 16%!  That solution is Beet Juice!  It is one of the best stamina boosters you can find in nature.  Scientists believe that the nitrates in organic beet juice caused a boost to participants of a study.

Just an 8 oz. glass of beet juice a day can have very beneficial effects on the body, that also include lowering blood pressure and building up your immune system.

For some extra flavor in your juice, add some organic carrot juice to create a very delicious beverage!  If you are looking into buying a bottle, check out our website today and get hooked up with this an all of our other organic juices!

We've always put an emphasis on promoting the fact that our juices contain so many nitrate rich vegetables!  But I wanted to make sure that before we continue discussing nitrates and the effect they have on the body, you had an idea of exactly what nitrates are and what they do!

According to health expert Paul Johnson, "Nitrate is a salt of nitric acid, and is an essential plant nutrient found in soil that is taken in by plants and used as their primary nitrogen source. Thus, nitrate is a natural part of all vegetables, fruits and cereals."

He also goes on to discuss the effect of nitrates on hypertension: "How can nitrates help with hypertension? New studies have found that nitrates, nutrients found in leafy green vegetables such as lettuce and spinach, may actually help control blood pressure by maintaining the health of blood vessels."

Conveniently enough, he finishes his article by promoting a few vegetables that are very high in nitrates, including: 

• Lettuce
• Spinach
• Cabbage
• Beets
• Radishes
• Carrots

Now you know why all of us here at Biotta take time to promote a nitrate-rich diet!  Nearly all of our organic vegetable juice is packed full of nitrates!  For a complete list of Biotta's vegetable juices, click here!

In the early 1900s, naturopath Rudolph Breuss developed a recipe for Breuss Juice as an alternative method of treating disease, including cancer. 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.

Breuss went on to write a book entitled The Breuss Cancer Cure.  In his book, that you can still buy today, he claims that cancer feed and grows on protein.  He deduces that fasting could detoxify and cleanse the body, while starving the cancer.  Many people still use this advice today!

Today, the juice is developed according to the original recipe used many years ago. In fact, Biotta holds the exclusive license for the worldwide production and distribution of the juice!  Biotta’s Breuss juice is made from a large selection of nutrient-rich vegetables, including freshly gathered organic vegetable such as beetroots, carrots, celeriac, potatoes and radishes.

The following is an excerpt of a Q & A from The People's Pharmacy regarding the health benefits connecting blood pressure and  beet juice:

Q. Is there anything in the way of vitamins or herbs that a person can take instead of a prescription drug for high blood pressure? 

A. The newest candidate for natural blood pressure control is beet juice. A study in the journal Hypertension (online Feb. 4, 2008) showed that two cups (500 ml) of beet juice lowered blood pressure by approximately 10 points. That is better than many prescription drugs. The effect lasts up to 24 hours.

Beets are high in dietary nitrate and increase the amount of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide (NO) helps blood vessels relax, lowering blood pressure. NO has anti-inflammatory activity and discourages blood clot formation.

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!

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.

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!

High blood pressure is a serious problem for thousands of Americans.  Many people, including sufferers, don't know the list of effects that high blood pressure can have on the body.  High blood pressure is the leading cause of strokes, it can cause blood vessels in the eye to rupture causing blindness, and it also can lead to kidney failure!

Luckily, scientists have found a simple solution to combating and preventing high blood pressure: Beet Juice! 

Scientists have performed numerous studies and found that many patients saw their blood pressure decrease after consuming beet juice.

Here is how it works, according to the article:
Nitrate in the beet juice is converted by bacteria living on the tongue into the chemical nitrite. Once it enters the stomach, it becomes nitric oxide or re-enters the blood stream as nitrite. The researchers found that blood pressure was at its lowest when the nitrite levels in the blood were at their highest.

The recommended use is two glasses of juice a day for the effects to take place.  If you want to learn about beet juice benefits, check out the Biotta website!

Recently, I did a search for Biotta Juices on Twitter and found that we have a following developing!  Just in the past few days, three Tweeters, @OnlyHealthiest @BeOrganicLife and @EcoPregnancy have linked to our Biotta Blog! These three accounts have over 2700 combined followers!

All of us here at Biotta are so excited to see others passing on the word about our juices! We're very proud of our products and love to see it when others enjoy them as well!

What's not to enjoy about an all-organic fruit juice?  Or juices filled with vitamin and mineral-rich vegetables?  These are some of the healthiest products you'll find on the market today!

Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld is a big fan of beets.  He has reported on Fox News about the long list of benefits of beet juice and during one clip he talks about the benefits athletes can find drinking beet juice.  

"If you take two glasses of beet juice a day," says Rosenfeld, "and you're an athlete or a would be athlete, or if you're elderly and need more energy, two glasses of beet juice a day will increase your energy level significantly...  What it does is it increases the oxygen demand when you're exercising."  

Beets are full of nitrates that cause this to happen.  By drinking a couple of glasses, you will be in a better position to work out than with simply hydrating (although you should never omit water from you diet).  

If you're looking for more benefits, I recommend checking out some other blog posts we have about the amazing results from drinking Biotta's beet juice!

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?

Studies continue to show the benefits of organic products.  In the Fall issue of The Organic Report, the News & Trends section features an article on this subject.  It examines recent findings of a study conducted by the University of Aix-Marseille in France, commissioned by the French agency for Food Safety. 

The study confirmed “…the high nutritional quality and safety of food produced using organic practices.”*  The benefits include more dry matter, minerals and antioxidant micronutrients than non-organic counterparts.  In addition, the study showed that 100% organic foods have “…significantly lower amounts of nitrates and residues of toxic chemical pesticides, fungicides and herbicide.”*

Biotta Juices – All-Natural. 100% Organic
What do we mean when we say our juices are 100% organic?  Biotta uses only organic farming for all our fruits and vegetables.  For more than 50 years, we’ve been dedicated to producing top-quality organic juices from fruits and vegetables that are fresh from the field to the bottle.  Over the years, Biotta has farmed more than 1,700 acres of chemical-free, fertilizer-free, and toxic-free land.

But, production processes also have a direct influence on the quality of a juice.  The basic rule is: the fewer steps in the production and the lower the processing temperature, the higher the nutritional value of the juice.  Biotta extracts juice from healthy, field/vine-ripened fruits and vegetables.  Competitors often store vegetable juices in tanks to be bottled as needed.  The result is that these juices are repeatedly heated and the quality is diminished.  Biotta bottles our juices immediately after extracting the juice.

And Biotta juices are never reconstituted from concentrates, and no artificial additives (preservatives, vitamins) are used.  Biotta juices are 100% organic, fresh from the field to the bottle.  Great care is taken throughout the growing and production processes to ensure our customers receive the freshest juices available on the market.

We’ve written often about the wonders of beet juice.  Here are a few of the benefits highlighted in recent articles:

Beets can also be used as a natural food coloring.  In 1971, Red No. 2 dye was linked to cancer and, ever since then, health-conscious consumers have been looking for natural food dyes.  Beets have a distinct red color that can be used as a natural food dye or spray dried to make beet root powder.******

The Amazing Beet
In addition to these wonderful health benefits, did you know that beets can help defeat icy roads?  Seriously. In states like Maryland, beets are being used as a great eco de-icer!  “It is the sugar beet’s by-product—a de-sugared liquid typically fed to animals or flushed down the drain—that can withstand temperatures down to -30 degrees Fahrenheit.”  “…Combinations of beet juice and rock salt are being sprayed on streets and highways by the transportation departments in DC, Missouri and Ohio and in cities scattered throughout the Midwest and Northeast,”*******

Biotta Beet Juice
Uses for the astounding beet just keep multiplying!  At any rate, Biotta Beet Juice is our most popular selection, 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.

We’ve talked many times about the amazing properties and health benefits of beet root juice.  Beet juice can help lower blood pressure, increase dietary nitrates and thereby increase stamina, aid in digestive problems, detoxify the body, build the immune system, strengthen bones, and help fight cancer by breaking up tumors.

Beet Juice Sensitivity
But, some articles have surfaced that warn about the dangers of drinking beet juice straight.  While most people do not have a problem drinking beet juice, in some people, drinking straight beet juice can cause giddiness, heartthrob, general weakness and vomiting.*

Drink Beet Juice in Combination
Beet Juice Can Increase Energy
Remember, for most people, drinking beet juice straight is not a problem.  In fact, recent research shows that drinking two glasses of beet juice daily gives you more energy.  The research showed how the nitrate contained in beetroot juice leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake, making exercise less tiring. The study revealed that drinking beet juice reduces oxygen uptake to an extent that cannot be achieved by any other known means, including training.***  The study, published Feb. 2008 in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, also showed that people who drank beet juice also had a lower resting blood pressure.

Beet juice is Biotta’s most favored juice by consumers, rich with natural minerals and vitamins.  In all likelihood, you won’t have any problem drinking Biotta Beet Juice straight.  If you do, try one of the juice combinations listed above.  Beet juice is refreshing, crisp, cool and a healthy addition to your diet.  Biotta’s Beet Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.

Forty percent of our population will likely have to deal with cancer at some point.  That’s a lot of people.  Since tumors often grow more than 20 years without detection before they are diagnosed, eating and drinking foods that protect against this serious problem is an excellent idea.

Enter the lowly beet.  Beets are one of nature’s astounding wonders.  Recent studies have shown that beets increase stamina during exercise by 16 percent.*  Add that to all the other known health benefits of beet juice—including lowering blood pressure, increasing dietary nitrates, aiding in digestive problems, building the immune system and strengthening bones—and you have one powerhouse food.But did you know that beet juice has also been shown to break up cancers and tumors?  In the 1950s, Dr. Ferenczi of Hungary used beets exclusively to break up tumors in the body.**  Tumors were often eliminated, but he found that they returned if the patient stopped eating beets and drinking beet juice.  These findings confirmed that eating beets and drinking beet juice was not just a short-term fix, but rather a lifestyle solution. 

Cancer-fighting Betacyanin
Betacyanin is the ingredient that has been identified as the main tumor-fighting agent in beets.  Betacyanin gives beets its bright reddish purple color, and it also helps to detoxify the body, in general. 

Beets' potential effectiveness against colon cancer, in particular, has been demonstrated in several studies. In one study, animals with chemically induced colon cancer and high cholesterol were divided into two groups. “One group received a diet high in beet fiber while the other group served as a control. The beet fiber-fed animals rose to the challenge by increasing their activity of two antioxidant enzymes in the liver, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase. The liver is the body's primary detoxification organ where toxic substances are broken down and eliminated, a process that generates a lot of free radicals. Glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S-transferase are the bodyguards for liver cells, protecting them from free radical attack, so they can continue to protect us.”***
“In other animal studies, scientists have noted that animals fed beet fiber had an increase in their number of colonic CD8 cells, special immune cells responsible for detecting and eliminating abnormal cells. With the increased surveillance provided by these additional CD8 cells, the animals in one of the studies given beet fiber had fewer pre-cancerous changes.  In stomach cancer patients, when scientists compared the effects of fruit and vegetable juices on the formation of nitrosamines, ...beet juice was found to be a potent inhibitor of the cell mutations caused by these (cancer-causing) compounds.”***
Add beet juice to your diet and increase your body’s tumor-fighting capability.  Beet juice is Biotta’s 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.

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.****

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.
