      It’s better to avoid using apple cider vinegar while nursing. If you want to include it in your diet, then prefer using pasteurized apple cider vinegar, as unpasteurized will cause some intestinal problems. But remember to take small quantities.

      Drinking warm water will increase the rate of metabolism and thereby burn more calories. So, for weight loss, it’s best to drink apple cider vinegar and honey mixed warm water rather than cold water.
