Saturday, June 5, 2010 by Jennifer C
Sometimes, there seems to be a bit of an overload when it comes to advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.  Everyone likes to give advice and every persons body is different.  This is why I would like to spend a few posts breaking down some of the major keys to healthy living that are applicable to ANY person ANY time!

I wrote a post before reminding readers that a healthy lifestyle is a process.  You will never reach a point of "arrival" when everything is perfect and stays that way forever.  It takes a balance on all areas of life to make a difference.

And, obviously, we also want to show you how incorporating Biotta's fresh juices into your diet can help benefit many areas of your life!  We are so proud of our juices and the versatility they have.  Beet juice has been linked to help dozens of different issues, as well as elderberry juice and all of our other juices!

The "All-in-One" Juice!

Saturday, May 8, 2010 by Jennifer C
We understand how it can be tough to make a decision when faced with the full list of juices offered by Biotta.  That is why we want to make sure you are aware of the Vegetable Juice Cocktail!  Our Veggie Cocktail is perfect for those who struggle with indecisiveness!  You can get the benefits of many delicious and nutritious veggies in one glass.

Some of those veggies include:

Tomatoes-  The red pigment contained in tomatoes is called lycopene. This compound appears to act as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that can damage cells in the body.

CeleryThe potassium and sodium in celery juice helps to regulate body fluid and stimulate urine production, making it an important help to rid the body of excess fluid.

As well as others!  You'll love our Vegetable Cocktail! Not only is it very tasty, it is one of the healthiest additions to your daily diet!

The Story Behind the Name "Biotta"

Friday, April 30, 2010 by Jennifer C
You may be wondering where the name "Biotta" (bee-ah-tuh) even came from.  Well, as you can imagine, our name is representative of everything we stand for!

Our name breaks down into two parts:

"Bio" means "organic" in German and is symbolic for the quality of our products!  All of our products are 100% organic juice!

The second half of our name comes from Tagerwilen, the village in Switzerland where all of our juices are produced.  All of our fruits and vegetables are naturally grown with no added chemicals or pesticides.  Our products are pure in order to create the best products possible!

Every aspect of our company, from the growing, to the bottling, to the packaging, is done with you, the consumer, in mind.  We are dedicated to providing the best tasting, organic fresh juices around!

Healthy Living is a Process...

Sunday, April 25, 2010 by Jennifer C
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.

If you want more information about our beet juice, elderberry juice, breakfast blend, or any of our other options, check out our product page!

Why YOU Should Go Organic!

Friday, April 23, 2010 by Jennifer C
Recently, I found a great Top 10 List from the Organic Trade Commission, breaking down some major reasons why YOU should support organic products and organic farmers!  I've included the list below:

Organic products meet stringent standards

Organic certification is the public’s assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without persistent toxic chemical inputs.

Organic food tastes great!25th Anniversary

It’s common sense – well-balanced soils produce strong, healthy plants that become nourishing food for people and animals.


Organic production reduces health risks

Many EPA-approved pesticides were registered long before extensive research linked these chemicals to cancer and other diseases. Organic agriculture is one way to prevent any more of these chemicals from getting into the air, earth and water that sustain us.


Organic farms respect our water resources

The elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching, done in combination with soil building, protects and conserves water resources.

Organic farmers build healthy soil

Soil is the foundation of the food chain. The primary focus of organic farming is to use practices that build healthy soils.


Organic farmers work in harmony with nature

Organic agricultural respects the balance demanded of a healthy ecosystem: wildlife is encouraged by including forage crops in rotation and by retaining fence rows, wetlands, and other natural areas.


Organic producers are leaders in innovative research

Organic farmers have led the way, largely at their own expense, with innovative on-farm research aimed at reducing pesticide use and minimizing agriculture’s impact on the environment.


Organic producers strive to preserve diversity

The loss of a large variety of species (biodiversity) is one of the most pressing environmental concerns. The good news is that many organic farmers and gardeners have been collecting and preserving seeds, and growing unusual varieties for decades.


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 abundance – Foods and non-foods alike!

Now every food category has an organic alternative. And non-food agricultural products are being grown organically – even cotton, which most experts felt could not be grown this way.

As you know, Biotta Juices is 100% dedicated to the Organic movement!  Every one of our fruits and veggies is organically grown to produce the highest quality fresh juices imaginable.

To see our full selection of organic vegetable juice and fruit juice, check out our products page today!

Juice- A Natural Cure for Bad Breath!

Thursday, April 22, 2010 by Jennifer C
I think we can all agree that one of the worst social situations to find yourself is realizing that you, yourself, or someone you're talking to is having a case of bad breath...

While mints and gum are obviously the go-to response for many people, they provide minimal-to-no nutritional value.  Wouldn't it be convenient to conclude your lunch with a nutrient-rich drink that would also work to rid any chances of bad breath? Great news! There is a solution!

According to NaturalCures.com, juice can actually work very well in getting rid of bad breath!

The entry explains- The following fresh juice combinations can help alleviate bad breath symptoms and also help GI disturbances that may be a contributing factor: Carrot and celery with parsley, spinach, watercress, alfalfa, comfrey, or beet tops; wheat grass juice; green juice; and carrot, spinach, and cucumber.

It amazes me how the list of carrot juice benefits and celery juice benefits continue to grow and grow!  Also, the benefits of including beets and their juice in your diet seems like the smartest health decision you can make!

Check out these, and all of our other juices, on our website today!

Carrots have HISTORY!

Friday, April 9, 2010 by Jennifer C
Obviously, we all know about the major health benefits of carrots today, but did you know thatImage of sliced carrots carrots have been a popular part of civilizations dating back over 5000 years!  It's true!

According to an article on the history of carrots, "Both the ancient Greeks and the Romans were familiar with carrots, although these early varieties were not the sweet, succulent orange carrots that are grown today. Early carrots were typically not often eaten as food by the Greeks, but were used for medicinal purposes."

How amazing is that!  5,000 years ago people knew that carrots were perfect in aiding in medical conditions.  Granted, they used carrots for things like syphilis and animal bites, but they knew carrots were packed full of healthy nutrients.

Today, carrots are still one one of the healthiest veggies we can eat!  In fact, drinking organic carrot juice has been linked to helping develop good vision, benefits nursing mothers, as well as a long list of other benefits.

To experience the long list of health benefits today, why not order a bottle of Biotta's organic carrot juice today and see for yourself!

Attention Nursing Mothers! Turn to Carrot Juice!

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 by Jennifer C
Pregnant and nursing mothers are usually constantly given advice on all the ways to make sure that their body is in top shape for both themselves, as well as the baby.  It turns out that Carrot Juice can be added to that list!  

According to Home Remedies for You, "Nursing mothers are well advised, for the sake of the quality of their milk, to take carrot juice throughout lactation."  They also provide advise to pregnant women, "When the baby is on its way it is good sense not only to drink the juice but also to nibble a carrot when you feel hungry."

Organic Carrot Juice is filled with health benefits for your body, and this is just another major bonus!  Don't forget that carrot juice also is packed full of essential vitamins and minerals that we all need to be taking in every day!

Just like all of our heart healthy juice here at Biotta, our carrot juice is completely, 100% organic and natural with no added sugars or additional flavoring!

100% Juice!

Sunday, March 28, 2010 by Jennifer C
Ever wondered what exactly it means when a juice advertises itself as being "100% Juice?"  If you're interested in Biotta's juices, this would be a piece of information you would probably like to know!

Nearly every one of our juices are 100% Juice.  This means that there is nothing else added in.  No additives, preservatives, or anything else that may lead it to being "from concentrate."  Mixed juices can only be 100% Juice if all included fruits or vegetables are 100% pure.  

Here is the breakdown of Biotta's Juices:

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

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.

74% Juice
Breakfast Blend

70% Juice
Elderberry

We take pride in the natural, healthy, organic qualities of our juices, which is why we produce the purest juice we can!  For a full nutritional breakdown of any of our juices, just check out the products page and take a look!

Aiding Digestion with Potato Juice

Friday, March 26, 2010 by Jennifer C
Many scientists are claiming that American's poor diets these days have resulted in more digestion problems.  While one of the best ways to fix this problem would be balancing out meals with healthy portions from all of the food groups, there are some vegetables that seem to work particularly well at helping the digestive system.

Potato Juice has long held the reputation for being one of the most effective ways to soothr the stomach.  Potato Juice has been shown to do the following**:
  •  Balance the acid condition and acts as a natural anti inflammatory drink.
  •  Treat stomach ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis and liver disorders
  •  Drastically reduce the chances of constipation.
  •  Helps treat gastritis and gastrointestinal disorders.
All of Biotta's organic juices are packed full of healthy vitamins and minerals, and our Potato Juice is no exception!

The Benefits of Cutting Out Caffeine (Part IV)

Thursday, March 25, 2010 by Jennifer C
Over the past few posts, I have focused on everything from caffeine and its effect on your heart health and skin health.  The more research I do into caffeine, the more I see how much your body can benefit from eliminating it from your diet, or at least reducing intake.

Today's focus is something that occasionally gets overlooked- Caffeine Addiction.

Many times you'll hear people claim that they "Can't function until I've had my coffee!"  This usually comes off jokingly, but the health implications are not a joke.  Not only are people causing damage to the body through the caffeine, but the withdraw can also take a major toll on the body when caffeine is not ingested.

According to MedicineNet.com, "A review and analysis of the effects of caffeine abstinence in humans claims that the withdrawal symptoms experienced are proof of physical dependence. These symptoms include headache, tiredness/fatigue, decreased energy/activeness, decreased alertness/attentiveness, drowsiness/sleepiness, decreased contentedness/well-being, depressed mood, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and felling muzzy/foggy/not clearheaded."

The article also claims that these effects start about 12 hours after your last caffeinated drink and can last up to 50 hours!

It's safe to say that anything that causes that much dependence on the body is not good for it.  This is exactly why Biotta has always been dedicated to providing caffeine-free, organic vegetable juices and fruit juices.  

If you're looking for fresh juices to replace your morning cup of coffee, why not try our Vegetable Juice Cocktail or our Breakfast Blend!

No Time For A Healthy Breakfast? Think Again...

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 by Jennifer C
Mornings and I have never gotten along that well.  By the time I drag myself out of bed, get ready for the day, run around the house trying to gather everything I'm going to need before I leave, you could probably guess that breakfast can easily get left out of the morning routine. 

Sometimes it's just a toaster pastry, maybe a small glass of milk, but rarely anything that will fill me up and definitely not something with nutritional value.  This is all too sad, considering that many doctors consider breakfast the most important meal of the day!

Biotta's Breakfast Juice is the perfect kick start for your day!  It contains everything you could hope to get from a normal breakfast that you never have time for!  It also provides a great energy boost while at the same time, providing a healthy blend of fruits and other organic ingredients.  Like all of the fresh juices from Biotta, our Breakfast Blend does not contain any caffeine, added flavors, or added sugars and is 100% organic juice!

Carrot Juice a "Goldmine of natural vitamins and nutrients..."

Monday, March 15, 2010 by Jennifer C
"Carrots should be considered a goldmine of natural vitamins and nutrients..." 

"Among other raw vegetable juices, carrot juice is an absolute leader in the context of the variety of its therapeutic effects, the contents of useful elements and its compatibility with other juices or foods..." 

"No other vegetable contains as much beta carotene as carrots..."


 
Here are just a few of the statements I found on GuideToHerbalRemedies.com while researchingRaw Carrots how carrot juice benefits the body.  Pretty bold claims, huh?  Well, I suppose you are allowed to make such bold claims when they are 100% true...  Carrot juice truly is one of the healthiest things for the body.  

We have probably all heard that carrot juice is packed full of beta carotene, and the major connection between beta carotene and vision.  However, vision is not the only thing benefited by carrot juice.  Drinking carrot juice also helps to relieve stress and aid in the digestion process!

Why Did We Choose To Go Organic?

Sunday, March 14, 2010 by Jennifer C
Many people may be asking why the popularity of organic foods has risen so much recently.  Also, you may wonder why Biotta made the decision to produce only organic vegetable juice and fruit juices.  To put it simply, organic foods and drinks are 100%... organic.  In the growth, harvesting, and processing phase, things like pesticides, artificial flavors and preservatives are never used.

What does this mean for the body?  According to Weightlossandtraining.com, "So is organic food better for you? Well if you consider that decreasing your toxin burden and increasing your intake of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can have a significant impact on health, then it certainly is."

Going organic was never a "joining the fad" decision for Biotta.  We've been doing it since the beginning - we're a pioneer in organic farming and production.  Our  mission is to promote good health and vitality.  Being organic supports that mission.  If you are looking for more information on our products, check out our organic carrot juice, beet juice, elderberry juice, or any of our other juices today!

Put down the soda, pick up Biotta!

Friday, March 12, 2010 by Jennifer C
Are you looking for a refreshing drink to replace sugary sodas?  What if I told you there was a drink that contained no added sugar, no artificial colors, and no artificial flavors.  Oh, and this drink also was free of alcohol, cholesterol, caffeine, gluten, and was low in carbs... Hard to believe, right?  That product is Biotta's line of organic vegetable juices.

There is no competition between Biotta's 100% organic, all natural juice and a can of soda, which contains virtually nothing except empty calories and sugar.  Biotta's vegetable juices are full of vitamins and minerals that are healthy, convenient, and delicious!  And Biotta juices help you get your daily recommended allowance of vegetables.

Our fresh juices are exactly what you need in your daily diet to get your fill of vegetables, as well as many necessary vitamins and minerals.  Check out the Biotta website for more nutrition information and see how you can order your juice today!

Bugs Bunny had it all figured out...

Thursday, March 11, 2010 by Jennifer C
I have a feeling that Bugs Bunny would have been the perfect spokesperson for Biotta Juice's Carrot Juice.  I can picture the commercial now...

First, he would pop out of the hole and tell us about the important connection between beta carotene and vision.  Biotta's carrot juice is packed full of Vitamin A and Beta Carotene which is essential to improve and maintain healthy vision.  


Second, he would remind us that it is a completely organic juice with no added sugars, coloring or flavors.  In fact, the juice is 100% vegetable juice and free of preservatives and caffeine.

Finally, he would trick Elmer Fudd into falling for his own trap... What a Silly Wabbit...

Since that commercial hasn't been created yet, I suppose you'll have to settle for our website, which has more information on our carrot juice, as well as all of our other juices available!

Too many options? BLEND them all together!

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 by Jennifer C
The only problem you could face going through our product list is trying to decide just which one of our heart healthy juice you would like to incorporate into your diet... For those of you who might struggle with this, why not start off with a delicious vegetable juice cocktail from Biotta?

What's in our vegetable juice cocktail?
  • Tomatoes- Tomatoes include lycopene and according to Livestrong.com, "Lycopene gives the tomato its red color and has been found to have antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties."
  • Carrots- "The high traces of beta carotene boost the anti-oxidant properties of carrot juice. It is the beta carotene that converts into vitamin A inside the body. The vitamin A fights to eliminate the free radicals in the body and hence fights cancer." (Home Remedies for You)
  • Celery- According to Naturalnews.com, celery juice lowers cholesterol, aids in digestion, is a diuretic, an anti inflammatory, lowers blood pressure, as well as many more health benefits!

Body cleanse with beets? It's true!

Sunday, March 7, 2010 by Jennifer C
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!

Check out Biottajuices.com for more info about how you can incorporate beet juice into your diet today!
