Even More Benefits from Carrot Juice

Thursday, June 17, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine (Part IX)

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine (Part VIII)

Monday, June 14, 2010 by Mitch B
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!

Wondering Why Our Juices Contain Sediment?

Thursday, June 10, 2010 by Mitch B
Chances are, if you've ever had a bottle of Biotta's juice, you've noticed that our juices contain some sediment left from the fruits or vegetables.  There is actually good reason behind this, not just carelessness in the creating process!

Sediment actually contains many beneficial properties, including phytonutrients! For this reason, we minimize the filtering in our juices.  

Because we are dedicated to providing the healthiest fresh juices possible, we take every measure necessary to ensure that our products are the best!

We do recommend shaking your bottle of Biotta's juice before drinking it to ensure that you mix up the sediment and get the full amount of nutrients in your glass!

Keys to Healthy Living (Part III)

Tuesday, June 8, 2010 by Mitch B
 This is the third part in a series devoted to giving you overall tips on how to enjoy living a healthy lifestyle... So far we have focused on water intake and physical activity, today we are going to look at the opposite of physical activity- Sleep!

Many of us would claim that the American outlook on life is "There just aren't enough hours in the day..."  We're constantly waking up earlier and staying up later just trying to stay caught up.  

Many sources still say that adults need at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night in order to stay healthy.

One way to help get more sleep at night is to eliminate caffeine from your diet, or at least within a few hours of going to sleep.  Why not replace the sugary, caffeinated soda with some organic vegetable juice from Biotta?  

You will also have a much more refreshing feeling when you wake up in the morning after a good night's sleep.  You will be able to reach for a bottle of carrot juice, beet juice, or maybe Biotta's Breakfast Blend for a healthy way to start your day!

Biotta's juices fit perfectly into anyone's plan for healthy living.  For more information about the juices or where you can buy them, check out the website today!

**Now you can order Biotta on our website!**

Keys to Healthy Living (Part I)

Sunday, June 6, 2010 by Mitch B
 Kicking off this new series, we're going to stick to a topic that we already know a lot about- What you should be drinking!

Now, although we will stand true behind our juice 100%, we also know that one of the best ways to start leading a healthier life is to make sure that your water intake is at a healthy level!  Water benefits the body in countless ways... Here are a few statistics:

  • Muscle consists of 75% water
  • Brain consists of 90% of water
  • Bone consists of 22% of water
  • Blood consists of 83% water

The functions of water in human body are vital. The water:

  • Transport nutrients and oxygen into cells
  • Moisturizes the air in lungs
  • Helps with metabolism
  • Protect our vital organ
  • Helps our organs to absorb nutrients better
  • Regulates body temperature
  • Detoxifies
  • Protect and moisturizes our joints
Water is the perfect addition to the nutrients your taking in.  Water helps your body absorb everything that fresh juices bring into your body.  Biotta's organic juices are the best way to get the necessary vitamins and minerals in your system daily!

So, in addition to your 3-5 servings of organic vegetable juice and fresh veggies you're getting a day, make sure that you drink a sufficient amount of water every day (The best way to judge if you've had enough water- your urine should be light yellow or clear)

Today was a GREAT veggie day...

Thursday, June 3, 2010 by Natalie Hadley
 Today, I decided that I was going to have a "Veggie Day."  The first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was having a glass of Biotta's Vegetable Juice Cocktail for breakfast, and what a good idea that was!

It gave me a healthy start to my day and made me feel like I was fueled up and ready to go.  It takes the feeling I usually get with a cup of coffee to an extreme.  Coffee used to give me that quick jolt I needed, but a glass of vegetable juice first thing in the morning, that is full of so many vitamins and nutrients just makes me feel better...

Also, when I replace coffee with a healthy, filling breakfast, I don't have to worry about a mid-morning caffeine crash!  I am so glad I discovered Biotta and all of the organic vegetable juice and fruit juices that they carry!

Enjoy the Juice!

The Wonderful World of Juicing!

Sunday, May 30, 2010 by Mitch B
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...
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

Happy Juice Drinkers!

Saturday, May 29, 2010 by Mitch B
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 organic vegetable juice and fruit juice, so we're always happy to see people raving about the benefits of drinking fresh juices!

High Cholesterol? Turn to a Heart Healthy Diet

Wednesday, May 26, 2010 by Mitch B
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!  

All of our juices are packed full of nitrate rich vegetables and fruits and they can easily be the first step toward a healthy lifestyle!

Innovation is Key!

Tuesday, May 25, 2010 by Mitch B
The whole world has been chatting about the latest and greatest piece of technology, the iPad!  It can do everything from acting as an e-reader, to surfing the web, to playing games, movies and music.

Why is everyone so drawn to the iPad? Why is it that Apple always seems to stay in the forefront of people's minds when it comes to great products? One word- Innovation.

While most people only use the world innovation to describe technology, it can apply to much more... including juice!

What is the Shelf Life of Biotta's Juice?

Sunday, May 23, 2010 by Mitch B

Upset Stomach? Reach for Potato Juice!

Tuesday, May 18, 2010 by Mitch B
I recently read a short note on Natural Healing Guide's website about a substance found in potatoes at that I never knew existed.  It's called atropine, and it is present in all of the "Nightshade Family" of vegetables.  Atropine, in small amounts, actually works wonders in helping alleviate gastrointestinal pains and cramps.

Simply drinking a glass of Biotta's organic potato juice before or after a meal can help the body digest the food pain free!  This is just one of the many benefits that come with drinking potato juice.  Did you know that it has also been linked to clearing up skin blemishes and relieving pain from rheumatism?

To see more of the benefits from drinking potato juice, check out the products page on Biotta's website!

Considering a cleanse...

Saturday, May 15, 2010 by Natalie Hadley
 I was talking to a friend the other day who said she was planning on doing a body cleanse.  I've heard of people doing them before, but have never really considered one myself.  She started describing what exactly it entailed and what it does to the body and, I must say, it sounded very intriguing.

From what I've read, it sounds like a juice cleanse with organic vegetable juice and fruit juice would be on of the healthiest and most effective types of cleanses to do.  During a juice body cleanse, your body gets a chance to rid itself of toxins that it couldn't if you were eating solid foods.

After reading up on the topic, it looks like a bottle of Biotta's Breakfast Blend for breakfast, some Beet Juice for lunch, and Carrot Juice for dinner may be a good place to start.

Anyone out there ever done a juice cleanse and have any advice?

Happy Juicing!
