What benefits does it have?

1. Reduces inflammation

Helps to reduce inflammation in the body because it has ginger. Inflammation is one of the causes of diseases, we can notice its present in our bodies when there are many digestive problems or problems in the skin. Ginger is also recommended for good digestion and helps to decrease abdominal swelling.

2. Rehydrating

The combination of apple vinegar and maple honey makes switchel a good choice as a rehydrator. It is advisable to hydrate yourself if you have been doing aerobic exercises for more than an hour, if you have been ill or if you present signs of dehydration or have been exposed to a lot of heat.

Signs of dehydration – Constant thirst, headache, fatigue and nausea.

3. Probiotics and balanced pH

Apple cider vinegar has many benefits for our health and is one of my favorite natural remedies. In addition to being a source of probiotics that help our intestinal flora, it helps detoxify our body and balance our pH.
