My Advice to an Athlete...

Friday, August 20, 2010 by Mitch B
Just a few days ago, I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine who happens to be a college athlete.  He said that he has been having constant debates with his coaches over what liquids he should be taking in during the season.  Just water? Just Gatorade? Artificially flavored fruit juice? They couldn't land on what would be the best route to take.

It was during this conversation that I kindly stopped him and gave him one recommendation- Beet Juice.  Obviously, you should never cut water, or other nutrient and enzyme building liquids from your diet, but once I explained to him the benefits that beet juice has on the body, I could see the wheels turning.

I don't know if it was my telling him that beets have been proven to boost energy and help people have the stamina to exercise 16% longer...

...or if it was my telling him that it 
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...

...or if it was my explanation of the high levels of calcium that helps improve bone health...


but SOMETHING sparked something in him and he asked, "Where do I buy beet juice??"

I said that there is only one place around that sells 100% Organic Beet Juice, and that is Biotta!  Think you're sold on the idea? Check out the website and see where you can order some today!

Monday, August 16, 2010 by Mitch B
Chances are you've heard it plenty of times by now, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day..."  Well, just because you have heard it so many times in your life doesn't make it any less true.  

An article on MedicineNet.com offers a few pieces of advice that may help in promoting a strong breakfast routine in your house:
  • Fill your pantry with lots of healthy choices for breakfast.
  • The night before, try to get as much ready as possible for breakfast. Have dishes and flatware out, get fruit cut up, and prepare as much as possible in advance.
  • Wake everyone at least 10 minutes earlier than usual to make sure there's plenty of time to eat.
  • Encourage the kids to participate in planning and making breakfast.
  • Have quick, healthy breakfast options on hand when time has eluded you -- such as trail mix, yogurt, fruit or individual boxes of cereal.
One perfect addition into your breakfast routine would be Biotta Juices delicious Breakfast Blend.  The breakfast drink is packed full of fresh juices from oranges, grapes, and bananas.  Our Breakfast Blend will help you get a filling, nutritional breakfast and get your day started right!

Why I choose juice...

Saturday, August 7, 2010 by Natalie Hadley
Juice, for me, is just about the most perfect thing I can include in my diet.  Why is this, you ask?  It contains some of the most important things in the busy life I lead!

Juice is convenient. It is just so easy to grab a bottle of Biotta Juice and have it as a meal, or in addition to a meal, instead of a soda.  No longer am I striving to find ways to include enough servings of fruits or veggies in my day, now I just reach for a bottle and know that I'm covered.

Juice is also healthy.  Knowing that I can easily treat my body to an effective heart healthy juice like Biotta's organic beet juice makes my life so much easier.  My health is very important to me, and Biotta makes it easy for me to see that they care about my health as well.

Juice is delicious! I'll be honest, you would have never sat me down with a plate full of beets and seen me eat them.  Now, I just mix some beet juice with a glass of carrot juice and I instantly discovered one of my favorite snacks ever!  It's is SO GOOD! And so good for me! (what a great combination, haha)

And THAT is why I turn to juice!

Enjoy the Juice!

How Do Biotta Juices Retail Their Vitamins?

Saturday, July 24, 2010 by Mitch B
Some of you may wonder how Biotta, which has been praised for its 2-year shelf life, retains all the the vitamins and nutrients packed into every bottle.  Well, it isn't luck, it is a very intricate process that has been perfected to create the best product available.  

The longer pasteurization process and the higher the temperature, the greater the damage to the vitamins in any product.  Biotta uses a gentle method of pasteurization, which retains the greatest possible quantity of vital nutrients.  The juice is heated quickly and immediately cooked down again.  The production continues using as few stages as possible. 

Oxygen is excluded as much as possible, hindering oxidation and the resulting loss of vitamins.  100% non-gas-permeable glass packaging is used.  Glass provides the best product protection and no undesired external elements (oxygen) can permeate the product, resulting in the best vitamin retention.  UV-rays (light influence) can break down vitamins, which is why Biotta products are packaged in closed cartons for storage and transportation.

So, buy a bottle of Biotta today, and you'll be able to enjoy the exact same nutritional value in the Summer of 2012!

Juices Relieve Arthritis Pain!

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 by Mitch B
According to Caring4Arthritis, 40 million people in the US suffer from some form of arthritis.  Sufferers have some options to help relieve the pain of arthritis, but most don't know about some of the most useful biological remedies for the pain.  It turns out many different organic juices contain vitamins and minerals that help to combat the pains caused by arthritis.

The most effective juice is potato juice!  You will be able to see the benefits after drinking one glass every morning on an empty stomach.

Other juices that work particularly well are carrot, celery, and beet juice!  According to Home Remedies For You, "The alkaline action of raw juices dissolves the accumulation of deposits around the joints and in other tissues." Conveniently enough, these are all juices that Biotta carries!

Fresh and Crisp.

Friday, July 16, 2010 by Natalie Hadley
Fresh and crisp are the words that seem to always come to mind when I'm enjoying a nice cool glass of Biotta's Juice on a hot day.  It really does amaze me how the juice can stay so fresh tasting after a lengthy shelf time.  Because I like to buy my pure organic juice in bulk, sometimes it can be a little while before I get to the last bottle in the case, but that has no impact on the fresh taste I get!

I always get a very crisp feel when I have a glass, as well... almost like the feeling you get biting into a fresh tomato or celery stalk.  It just makes the juice taste all the more better when I feel the crispness in every taste!

And no one would deny that the best part of a bottle of Biotta is the health benefits that go along with them.  It's amazing that a bottle of Beet Juice truly is one of the healthiest thing you can put in your body!  I'm so glad I discovered Biotta!

Enjoy the Juice!

Don't Be Afraid to Mix It Up!

Sunday, July 11, 2010 by Mitch B
Here at Biotta, we completely understand that some of our juices may be more of an acquired taste than others.  That is why we want to encourage you to try mixing some of the juices and see what you think!

Most people would agree that carrot juice is one of the most delicious juices around, which is why it goes very well when mixed with a glass of organic beet juice, which some people find to be too strong to drink by itself.

Mixing carrot juice with nearly any of our juices may make them much easier on the palate, and over time you can wean yourself to drinking the straight juice.

Do you have any success stories on creating your own juice cocktails using Biotta's organic juice?  Leave us a comment or send us an email today!

SO Many Celery Juice Benefits!

Friday, July 9, 2010 by Mitch B
Recently, I was reading an article about celery juice on the website eHow.com... I found a great list of benefits of drinking celery juice and wanted to share some of them with you.
  • Celery keeps body temperature regulated, helping you cool down in hot weather.
  • It can also be used as a fever reducer.
  • Fiber in celery works as a natural mild laxative that keeps your system running well without the stress of over-the-counter laxatives.
  • It also rehydrates the body in dry weather and after a workout.
  • Celery can also curb the appetite and reduce cravings for sugar, making it a healthful alternative to diet pills when added to your diet.
This is just a small sampling in a huge list of the benefits of including celery in your diet.  Remember, all of our juices are 100% organic and contain no added sugar, caffeine, flavors, or coloring!  Here at Biotta, we are dedicated to providing pure juice to our consumers!

More Evidence of Sauerkraut Juice's Cancer-Fighting Capabilities

Monday, June 21, 2010 by Mitch B
It's a topic we've covered many times in this blog, but it's important enough to us that we want to make sure and give you every piece of information that comes up about the health benefits that come from drinking Biotta Juices.  Recently, a group of scientists found more evidence proving Sauerkraut Juice's ability to fight cancer cells in animals and may be as effective in humans as well.

According to the article, "The investigators found that fermenting cabbage produced a number of different compounds, known as isothiocyanates, which have been shown in test tube and animal studies to prevent the growth of cancer, especially in the breast, colon, lung and liver.

According to their experiment, the fermentation process breaks glucosinolate down into isothiocynates and other compounds that may fight cancer. Previous studies have found that isothiocyanates encourage precancerous cells in the digestive system to self-destruct, a process known as apoptosis."

"Our study implies that fermented cabbage can be a good source of plant-derived bioactive compounds such as breakdown products of glucosinolates," Dr. Eeva-Liisa Ryhanen, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health. 

Besides being a strong cancer-fighter, sauerkraut juice is also very effective at treating digestional problems and even canker sores!  Click here to see where you can order a bottle of the juice today!

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!

Keys to Healthy Living (Part II)

Monday, June 7, 2010 by Mitch B
My last segment in this series ties in very well with this one.  Last time, I discussed the importance of adding water to your diet already full of healthy food and drinks.  This segment's key to healthy living- Getting Active!

Regular physical activity is essential to keeping the body at a healthy state.  "With regular exercise, fat deposits and excessive sugar levels in the body are reduced. The aftermath of this is that organs in the body like the heart, the kidney and liver are kept in good working condition. Thus, to live long, regular exercise as well as good eating patterns are needed"**

Making small decisions at first, like taking the stairs or parking further away from the store, will help you build up to a physically active routine.  

Fresh juices can become extremely helpful when trying to maintain a physically active life.  The Biotta Breakfast Blend gives you the perfect burst of energy you need in the morning, and celery juice has been given a very strong reputation of being a way to remain hydrated when active.

One post I wrote focused on the benefits of beet juice for athletes because of the way it helps the body gain oxygen and not tire easily.

Healthy Living is a Process...

Sunday, April 25, 2010 by Mitch B
If there is one thing I have found true about trying to live healthy it is this: Healthy Living is a process, as visualized by the following diagram: 
I don't want to discourage anyone who sets goals for themselves, those can be great!  If you want to have a certain blood pressure or be a certain weight, go for it!  But one thing to keep in mind is there is not point of having "Arrived."  You also can't focus on one aspect of your health and forget about all of the others.
 
 
It is just as important to remain active with exercise, find ways to minimize the toxins in the body and reduce stress as it is to eat healthy.  That is why we are dedicated to providing heart healthy juice for our consumers as well as resources in this blog to find information about a healthy lifestyle.

There are few areas of your health that Biotta's organic juice don't benefit.  Our juices have been proven to help everything from cancer, to canker sores, to indigestion, to vision, to lowering blood pressure.
