Question

I'm dealing with a viral fever and I'm already on medication. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink milk or if I should avoid it for now. Is milk a good idea when I'm sick?

Yes, you can drink milk during a fever; it provides nutrition and energy. However, if it upsets your stomach or increases mucus, opt for lighter alternatives like soups or warm water. Always stay hydrated and rest well.

I've been dealing with constipation for the last 8 months and after some tests, my doctor said I have low levels of Vitamin B12 and D3.

I also stumbled upon info that said Apple Cider Vinegar might help with high cholesterol. Could you let me know if it's okay for me to try Apple Cider Vinegar for reducing my LDL cholesterol?
