8d • Fermentation
What drink do you start your day with?
Did you know that having a small glass of fermented drink, such as kvass, first thing in the morning boosts your energy and digestion?
Traditional Polish and Eastern European practice has long recommended a small shot (50–100ml) on an empty stomach, which aligns well with what we now understand about the gut-brain axis and circadian rhythm — your digestive system is most receptive in the morning.
In beetroot kvass, energy comes partly from the B vitamins and electrolytes (potassium, magnesium) that become more bioavailable through fermentation, and partly from the beet's natural nitrates which support blood flow and oxygen delivery to cells. It's a gentler, more sustained lift than caffeine.
Today, I started my day with carrot and garlic kvass.
