In addition to being highly nutritious foods, they're also <em>functional<\/em> foods. Researchers have found that they help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.  As a result, foods made with beets like beet kvass may help to improve cardiovascular, metabolic, and brain health (1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beet kvass has a similar nutritional profile to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleaneatingkitchen.com\/beet-juice-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> beet juice<\/a> with the exception that it contains less sugar, as some of it is metabolized by beneficial bacteria.  It also typically contains B vitamins, vitamin C, trace minerals as well as antioxidants, and phytonutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nutrition you'll find in a 6-oz serving of beet kvass: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Roughly 2 grams of dietary fiber, 1 gram of protein and 6 grams of carbohydrates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B vitamins (including folate) and vitamin C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and manganese<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Probiotics and food enzymes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Antioxidants and phytonutrients like betalain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gut-health\">Beet Kvass Benefits for Gut Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a fermented food, beet kvass benefits gut health and the digestive system. Culturing the beets in brine allows beneficial bacteria to proliferate just as they do in other fermented foods and drinks like <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/water-kefir\/\">water kefir<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/milk-kefir\/\">milk kefir<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/homemade-sauerkraut\/\">sauerkraut<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, these foods become rich sources of probiotics that help support digestive system health(2) and proper immune system function (3).  As a result, people who consume probiotic-rich foods and drinks like kvass tend to have healthier guts, and may be less likely to become sick from cold(4) and flu (5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"liver\">Beet Kvass Benefits for the Liver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, beet kvass was used as a tonic for the blood and liver (6). There's merit to that tradition, too.  That's because beets contain phytonutrients called betalains as well as betaine, and these nutrients help support liver health.  Furthermore, betaine helps reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver(7), while beets also reduce stress on the liver and support liver health (8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heart-health\">Beet Kvass for Your Brain and Heart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to supporting liver health, beet kvass benefits the heart, too. That's because beets contain naturally occurring nitrates that your body converts to nitric oxide (9).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When that happens, your blood vessels dilate which improves circulation and oxygenation throughout your body.  As a result, drinking beet juice may enhance cognitive function and neuroplasticity (that's your brain's ability to make new connections) as you age, while also reducing blood pressure (10).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"athletic-performance\">Athletic Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The same reasons that make beet kvass good for your heart also may help enhance athletic performance, too. One study found that consuming beetroot juice about 90 minutes before exercise could enhance athletic performance (11).  Further, it may also help reduce muscle pain from exercise, too (12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fermented beet juice, is rich in probiotics and micronutrients that help support systemic wellness, and can be especially good for your liver, heart, and brain.  Even better, if you're an athlete you might find beet kvass benefits how well you perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're ready to get started, pick up some beets and start making your own with this <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/beet-kvass-recipe\/\"><strong>beet kvass recipe<\/strong><\/a>.  You'll need beets, water, and fine sea salt.  A little bit of <a href=\"https:\/\/nourishedkitchen.com\/ginger-bug\/\"><strong>ginger bug<\/strong><\/a> to give the kvass a boost helps, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're new to fermented drinks, try starting with 4 ounces diluted with water or mineral water before a meal, and then increase it to 1 to 2 cups as your tolerance increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list has-small-font-size\">\n<li>Clifford, T., et al.
