Our bodies need an occasional detox that will eliminate all accumulated toxins and waste and thus support the function of body organs.
“Kvass” is a potent medicinal fizzy tonic with a distinct taste, traditionally consumed in Eastern Europe, and made by fermenting stale bread. It is full of nutrients and offers a myriad of health benefits.
If you add the medicinal properties of beetroots to it, you will get a powerful beverage which cleanses the kidneys and the liver and improves the digestive process.
Kvass originated in Russia, where it is often made with stale rye bread, and in Ukraine, people keep a bottle of beet kvass in the home and add it to soups, borscht, and vinaigrettes.
The conversion of beetroot into kvass occurs in a fermentation process, which heightens its nutritional value, and adds healthy probiotic bacteria and enzymes that improve gut health.
The consumption of a 4oz shot of beet kvass twice daily alkalizes and cleanses the blood, detoxifies the liver, treats kidney stones, aids digestion, promotes regularity, and treats common ailments.
According to Dr. Véronique Desaulniers:
“Perhaps the most exciting discovery about the power of beet kvass is what it may be able to do for individuals who have cancer. Beet kvass, like all naturally fermented raw foods, helps promote healthy cellular function and also chelates the body, gently detoxing it of heavy metals and toxins, including radiation exposure.
In addition, a recent University of Michigan study linked healthy levels of probiotics and a healthy digestive tract to immune system function in mice. Researchers gave the rodents high levels of chemo drugs as well as a substance called Rspo1. Up to 75% of the Rspo1-injected mice survived the lethal dose. This reason? Rpos1 produces stem cells that have the ability to rapidly repair tissue. Our bodies naturally contain the blueprint to produce Rspo-1; what triggers its production is probiotic flora and a healthy gut system overall.
Kvass is a heritage food that has been around for centuries as a tonic for overall health and especially gut health. Kvass made from beets has been used as a part of cancer protocols in Europe for some time now, and the benefits of this healing drink are starting to catch on in the United States as well. ”
Here is how to prepare it at home:
Ingredients
- • 4 organic beetroots
- • 1 tablespoon of Himalayan salt
- • Purified water
- • Optional flavorings: lemon, orange, ginger or spices
Instructions:
Peel the beets, wash them, and chop them into small cubes. Place the beetroot cubes in a glass jar, and pour the filtered water. Make sure you leave at least 1 inch of space at the top of the jar, add the Himalayan salt, and season.
Then, cover the jar with cheesecloth, towel, or a cloth, and secure it with a rubber band.
Leave the jar aside for at least 3-5 days, at room temperature, and check it daily. If you notice any scum on the top of the jar, remove it.
When it becomes deep red in color, and you notice bubbles along the top of the liquid, the beet kvass is ready. Remove the cloth, close with a lid, and transfer the jar to the fridge.
When it is ready, you can take 3-4 ounces of it twice daily.
You will soon experience amazing health improvements!
