Vegetable Juice Benefits

The website Methods of Healing recently released a list of the Top 10 Healthiest Vegetables, and we were so excited to see that Carrots made the list!

Carrots have always had a reputation for being one of the most popular vegetables and one of the healthiest veggies around.  This comes from their very high amount of Pro Vitamin-A Carotene, which leads to healthier vision, especially at night.  Also, drinking carrot juice benefits your blood sugar level as well as colon health.

Carrot juice, just like the rest of our fresh juices here at Biotta, is an outstanding addition to your diet.  It is not only one of the most nutritional juices around, it's also one of the tastiest!

I have long been a sufferer of canker sores.  They can be one of the most miserable health problems to go through, making it tough to enjoy talking, eating, or chewing gum...

One of the stranger, yet most effective remedies I've come across for canker sores involves swishing sauerkraut juice around in the mouth twice a day.  There have been many people and sources claiming its powerful effect. 

The People's Pharmacy says, "Take a tablespoon of sauerkraut juice in your mouth and swish it around morning and night, then swallow it. Do this twice a day and the canker sores should go away. We first heard about using sauerkraut juice to treat canker sores from D.W. in Garland, Texas. His mother had been a dental assistant in the 1930s. Since then we have heard from many people that it can provide rapid relief. One physician who benefited personally arranged for analytical testing of sauerkraut juice and discovered a number of active compounds that may be responsible for its healing properties."

Many people would agree that heartburn is one of the most miserable feelings one can experience.  And the timing doesn't help either... Right after a nice, big, delicious meal when all you want to do is sit back and relax (it never fails...)

Many over-the-counter drugs provide temporary relief, but the next time it hits, it comes back just as strong.  OTC drugs help at easing the pain, but don't help in curing the problem.

People as far back as the early Native Americans have been resorting to a more natural aid in fighting heartburn- Potatoes!

The Native Americans found that by drinking potato juice mixed with water, they could cure most digestive problems, including heartburn.
According to Helium.com, "After the first few treatments, you should notice a sharp decline in the severity and frequency of heartburn disturbances. Within a few months, you may discover that you rarely suffer from heartburn attacks anymore. In no time at all, you will only be disturbed with heartburn on rare occasions."

It is also a safe prevention of heartburn during pregnancy!  The list of benefits of this organic vegetable juice goes on and on!  For more information on Biotta's potato juice or any of our other products, just check out the website!

In 2008, there were over 1.4 million new cases of cancer reported in the US.  Chances are that we all know someone who has been diagnosed with cancer as the problem only continues to grow across the country.  There seems to always be new developments on ways to fight cancer before it starts, and recent studies have pointed at a new way to help prevent cancer- Vegetable Juices.

Three of the leading vegetables in cancer-fighting nutrients are:

• Carrots- which includes alpha carotene, beta carotene, and Vitamin E
• Beets- which includes proanthocyanidins
• Sauerkraut- which includes isothiocyanates

Each of these organic vegetable juices can be found in Biotta's product listing!  Every one of these fresh juices contain healthy vitamins and nutrients that work to benefit the body in countless ways!  For a complete listing of all of Biotta's products, just check out the product page or click on the icon below to order a bottle today!

It seems like the list of things pregnant mothers need to watch over and maintain for those long nine months just gets longer and longer.  Two major concerns that doctors tell pregnant women to keep an eye on are high blood pressure and anemia.  Did you know these two problems can be combated by one easy solution: Beet Juice!

High blood pressure during pregnancy (referred to as Pre-eclampsia) usually occurs around 20 weeks.  Drinking 4 oz. of beet juice daily around this time can help to balance the sodium/potassium ratio in your blood.*

Anemia is also a common problem women face during pregnancy.  Doctors recommend turning to foods high in iron to help prevent and combat the onset of anemia.  One of beet juice's most healthy attributes is its high levels of iron.

Obviously, drinking any of Biotta's organic vegetable juice and fruit juice would be beneficial during pregnancy.  You can check out this previous post on the benefits of carrot juice to nursing mothers!

Statistics say that women have a higher risk of dying from osteoporosis than breast cancer...  This is highly caused by women's lack of caution during early stages of life to prevent the onset of osteoporosis (disease causing deterioration of the bones).

It's never too early to start thinking of ways to prevent osteoporosis.  According to HealingDaily.com, "Would you like to know how to help prevent osteoporosis? EAT VEGETABLES! Vegetables help to preserve your bones, and help fight the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis. Juicing is an excellent way to make fresh vegetables a major part of your healing diet."

One of the easiest ways to start prevention early is by including organic vegetable juice in your daily diet.  With our fresh juices at Biotta, you'll see that your health is our number one concern and priority!  

We have the following vegetable juices available:

• Beet
• Carrot
• Potato
• Celery
• Sauerkraut

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!

Let's face it, just about everyone loves soda.  For some reason, we can't get enough of the sweet sensation of a cold pop. I can speak so confidently because I, too, am a soda lover.  Recently I have been questioning my decision to drink soda.  What is the draw?

So I decided to make a list of the benefits I get from a pop... What I came up with was a very small list of items that were hardly beneficial to my body.  I may get a quick caffeine boost... until I crash a short time later.  I feel very refreshed... until I realize that I'm actually more dehydrated than before.  

I then turned to Biotta's Fresh Juices to see what benefits I could come up with from drinking them.  That list was nearly never-ending.  Every single one of Biotta's juices is packed full of nutrients and vitamins that are essential for the body.  They are very filling, with no added sugar, no added caffeine, and no artificial colors or flavors!

I could spend this post like most of our posts simply discussing a long list of the benefits of beets (which you can find here... or here... or here); however, I would like to take a moment to touch on one concern you may have about drinking beet juice. 

Studies have shown that some people have a tougher time digesting beets.  In some cases, "it causes sickness, vomiting, giddiness, heartthrob, general weakness."  There is no reason to be concerned about these side effects because there is an easy solution!

We realize that straight beet juice might not be for everyone, but the benefits shouldn't be passed up! That is why we recommend mixing it with other vegetable juices.  When you combine it with some of our organic carrot juice, you can get some delicious beverages.  Here are a few I found:

• Carrot, beet, ginger, garlic
• Carrot, beet, cucumber
• Carrot, beet, parsley, cucumber
• Carrot, beet, spinach
• Carrot, beet, celery, parsley
• Carrot, beet, cucumber, parsley, garlic
  

What are you waiting for? Grab a bottle of Biotta's organic beet, carrot, or any of our other organic vegetable juice today and get a new start on a healthy lifestyle!

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."

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!

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!

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!

A while back, I wrote a post that included a portion of a great list compiled by Dr. Suzanne Skinner of the health benefits of drinking organic carrot juice.  I have decided that I didn't do the list justice in the last small sampling, so here are even MORE benefits!...

• Sterility is sometimes overcome by its use. 
  
• Helps overcome most eye troubles. 
• The best food for the colon is a combination of raw carrot juice and fresh spinach juice. 
• Contains elements which nourish the entire system, helping to normalize its weight as well as normalize the chemical balance. 
• The endocrine glands, especially the adrenals and the gonads require food elements found in raw carrot juice. 
• Helps overcome dry skin, dermititis, and other skin blemishes. 
• Rich in calcium, magnesium and iron while the vital organic elements phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and chlorine balance perfectly with the former in their action and reaction on the human system. 

100% Organic Carrot Juice is the closest thing to a miracle juice if there was ever one!  Even after these two posts documenting these benefits, I still feel like I haven't even scratched the surface on the long list of benefits found in carrots.

I Highly recommend checking out the entire list and seeing some of the other benefits.  And while you're at it, why not check out Biotta's website and check into the health benefits of our other organic vegetable juice and fruit juices!

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!

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!
