The importance of gut health cannot be overstated. Around 70% of our immune system lives in our gut, and it’s one of the first lines of defense against external pathogens. A growing body of scientific research shows that gut health lies at the roots of many chronic diseases. It's simple really, and yet there's so much complexity that it’s easy to get it wrong and fall into poor health.
During October at The Simple Market, we celebrated Gut Health Month with a spotlight on some of our favourite gut-loving products. And invited you to learn more about nourishing good gut health with a Kvass workshop led by Remedy & Kristy from The Culturehood.
Sisters Remedy & Kristy are legendary fermentationist and gut health gurus who are generous with the knowledge they has gathered over years of educating and fermenting. Their potent probiotic Beetroot Kvass is one of our favourite additions to our daily gut health regime, combining live bacterial strains with antioxidant-rich beetroot for an amazing tonic effect. Just a small shot a day can begin re-seeding your gut with the beneficial microflora required for the microbial garden to flourish. They ran a wonderful Kvass making Class in our store in Adelaide and we'll be running another one next year in February!
Kvass has a long history of use in eastern Europe as a digestive aid and to support healthy heart and cardiovascular function. One of the main phytonutrients, betalaines, help produce healthy red blood cells, which in turn make Beet Kvass a powerful blood tonic.
