Nutritional values
Due to the spiciness of ginger, the brain releases happiness hormones, and blood circulation is stimulated. Apple cider vinegar also gets a sluggish digestion going. Vitamin C from citrus fruits gives us an extra push. The resulting increase in serotonin and norepinephrine production effectively boosts our alertness. Besides energy honey, B vitamins, prevent rapid fatigue. At the same time, the messenger substance acetylcholine leads to better concentration. Berry fruits contain a lot of iron, the absorption of which is supported by the enormous amount of vitamin C. Your body is thus optimally supplied with oxygen: you feel fitter.
To prepare the switchel vegan, agave syrup or rice syrup is also suitable as a sweetener. And if it is not the season for fresh berries, you can easily switch to cherries, plums, apples or pears, depending on the season.
