How Celery Can Boost Your Health
Wondering whether or not celery is worth adding to a juicing recipe? Join us here on BestJuicer.net as we explain why celery will make a great addition to everyone’s retinue of powerfully healthy juicing ingredients. There’s a lot more to celery than simply applying peanut butter and sprinkling a few raisins on it.
Celery has traditionally never been a very popular staple in juicing, or in mainstream cooking either (I hated celery as a kid), but recent research has presented the plant in a new and very flattering light. A popular herbal medicine for generations– celery seeds, stalk and even leaves have been in use since 30 AD, or even earlier.
Today, we know that celery rocks an awesome assortment of A-list healthy salts, vitamins, metals, proteins, almost no calories or fat, Riboflavin and Niacin.
But what does these goodies actually do? Well, let’s list the practical benefits of juicing celery and find out.
Celery against Acidity
Alkaline’s equilibrium plays a big part in keeping the body’s acid levels neutral as possible, and sadly, most modern food is designed to basically skyrocket our acidity levels into the stratosphere. Okay, I‘m exaggerating, but you get the point, modern food is far too acid friendly.
This is where celery juice comes into play, not only does the vegetable aid greatly in policing the bodies alkaline level, it also takes care of reducing internal inflammation of the joints, organs and even skin issues such as acne.
Celery against Stress
Stress is also a given part of modern life, and there’s no doubt that it takes a huge toll not only the body, but the human spirit too. Oddly enough, celery is good way to get around both stress induced issues, as the magnesium and oils in celery help soothe the nervous system. They also help with sleep, giving the body much needed rest before the stresses of life wake up with the rising sun.
We’re not done yet with awesomeness of celery, we’ve still got cancer, blood pressure and eyesight to cover.
Celery on Cancer, BP and Eyesight
luteolin, a flavonoid abundantly available in celery, was found to actively inhibit the growth of cancerous cells, particularly in the pancreas.
Another active compound, phthalides, aids in regulating blood pressure by boosting the circulatory system. Last but not least, there’s good old Vitamin A, and more than enough to provide over 10% of the bodies’ daily requirement in a single stalk of celery.
