Aside from this, you can include ACV on regular meals by many easy ways.

• Use ACV as a dressing for your salad.
• Use for making pickled fruits and vegetables.
• Use for marinating fish, beef, lamb and pork.

Adding this vinegar as a base ingredient in your marinade, in combination with assorted herbs and spices, not only improves flavor and tenderness of meat, but also supplies a variety of nutrients to the diet. This is a subtle way to make the person with colds take in the ACV.

1. 1
   Moderate use of ACV has no known side effects. However, regular intake of vinegars, acids and even lemon juice can cause a weakening of teeth enamel. The teeth appear yellowish and become intolerant to heat and cold. To avoid this, dilute the vinegar with water or add a dash of baking soda to decrease the level of acidity.
