Can I drink kvass for gout?

Gout is a disease, the basis of which is a violation in the body of a patient with metabolic processes, the deposition of urate crystals, formed from uric acid or sodium monourate. Advantageously, the localization of such deposits is the joints.

Kvass is an amazing drink created by Slavic tribes. It is rich in vitamins, especially B, E and R. This drink normalizes metabolic processes, improves the functioning of the digestive and gastric tract, has a positive effect on the appetite and soothingly affects the nervous system. Kvass has weak antibacterial properties, so it can destroy or inhibit the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, if there is a question: "Is it possible to drink kvass with gout?" - the answer is one - not only it is possible, but also it is necessary.

But, it turns out, not everything is so simple. Not so long ago, our grandmothers cooked it at home from natural products. It is this drink that can and should be drunk to people, even if their history is burdened with gout.

Kvass, which is now sold in supermarkets, is very difficult to call a natural product. It is more like a chemical laboratory. These drinks are CATEGORALLY forbidden to drink to people suffering from gout.

Sugar, present in the store product, depresses the ability of the urinary system to remove uric acid from the body, which provokes its further deposition and crystallization. Negatively affect the human body and those substances that are added to the drink in the role of stabilizers, dyes and flavor additives.

Homemade kvass for gout

In order not to think about the consequences, it is better to prepare this drink by yourself. Homemade kvass with gout can be prepared using a different base:

  1. Kvass, prepared on the basis of yeast.
  2. Drink made on the basis of malt.

Today it is difficult to find people who at home would cook homemade kvass from malt. To make it, you should make a lot of effort. But the landlady found a way out by replacing the malt with breadcrumbs. The taste, of course, is somewhat lost, but the useful properties of the home beverage remain.

We would like to offer one of the malt recipes, which was mainly prepared from grains of barley or rye.

Malt's recipe:

  1. Take the grain and clean it thoroughly.
  2. Pour the cereal product with water at room temperature. All grains should be covered with a liquid, but extra water is not needed.
  3. Put the container in a warm place and let stand for about three days, mixing it several times a day.
  4. On the third day, drain the grain, lightly dry it and add fresh water. Continue to insist for another two days.
  5. During this time, the grains will sprout lightly. Drain the liquid. The germinated grain should be dried in an oven at a low temperature. Make sure not to burn.
  6. Grind the grains in a coffee grinder or other convenient way.
  7. Malt is ready.
  8. It should be stored in a cool place, placing in a bag of natural fiber. It can be flax or cotton.

If desired, you can take a different grain. This will allow you to experiment with the tastes. Useful properties of the drink will not decrease, but will only be enriched.

Next, to prepare kvass, you should get the must. Having malt, it is prepared easily, enough to connect it with hot boiled water and leave for a few. Such a product can be drunk as an independent dish.

In the future, the recipe of the drink itself can be different.

For example, to get white kvass, which is good in cooking okroshki or as a leaven for baking, you should add water and flour to the wort. To prepare kvass of dark varieties, it is necessary to introduce into the wort roasted in the oven to a golden brown tint.

Even malt is useful in itself. After all, its base is slightly sprouted grains. And as studies of scientists show at the moment when the grass begins to germinate, it becomes a source of easily digestible vitamins and minerals. Therefore, regular intake of kvass or malt makes it possible to activate metabolism, metabolic processes, stimulate the immune characteristics of the human body, improve blood formation and improve the excretion of slag, toxins, and lactic acid from the body, which dominates the issue of prevention and treatment of gout.

You can prepare a drink and based on yeast. Its main advantage is the ease of preparation. But also useful products, chemical compounds in it is also enough.

The proteins that are present in yeast (palmitic and stearic acid) are akin to animals, so they are distinguished by a high level of absorption, metabolism and assimilation. The main vitamins with which this product is rich are a number of vitamins B (thiamine, aneurine, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin), as well as PP (nicotinic acid and nicotinamide) and D (cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol).

Thanks to yeast enzymes, this product perfectly copes with harmful pathogenic microbes, which are the causative agents of various diseases.

Normalization of metabolic processes, cleansing the body and removing toxins from it, increasing the body's immune status.

But there is one "but", in yeast there are chemical compounds that have a purine base. They inhibit the process of excretion of uric acid from the body, which leads to the development of inflammation with the subsequent deposition of crystalline formations in the joints.

Therefore, homemade kvass for gout is very useful, but it should be cooked, adhering to all the rules and recommendations given by specialists. Doctors allow the use of a gout of kvass cooked on the basis of malt in the diet of a patient, but not all recipes of this drink made with the use of yeast are recommended. Therefore, if a patient wants to see gout in his diet kvass, you should agree on a specific recipe with a specialist.

Bread kvass for gout

A drink made on the basis of bread is the most common and most favorite kvass product. It is based on flour (mainly barley, rye, wheat, buckwheat and oats), malt (mostly rye and / or barley grains), bread (wheat and rye) and water.
