Celery juice is all the rage and fortunately I have been drinking celery juice for YEARS! At our most recent fasting retreat we replaced all juices with celery juice! Here are a few of the reasons below!
Lowers Inflammation
Celery is packed with antioxidants and polysaccharides. The cause of inflammation in the body is free radicals. Antioxidants repair damage caused by free radicals. Chronic diseases like arthritis, cancer, and heart disease are caused by inflammation.
Reduce the inflammation in your body and you get a kickstart on better health!
Reduces High Cholesterol
There is a compound called BuPh in celery and of course celery juice that can lower alipid. Adding celery juice into your diet will naturally decrease your triglyceride concentration, total cholesterol, and lipoprotein cholesterol!
Treats High Blood Pressure
The greatest health benefit that drinking celery juice has to offer is its ability to treat high blood pressure. Celery juice is an inexpensive HIGHLY AFFECTIVE way to get your blood pressure down quickly and to keep it down! is an especially effective one. Celery seed extracts are particularly good for treating high blood pressure because they hold anti-hypertensive properties. Celery is also filled with high amounts of calcium and potassium. In addition, celery contains muscle-relaxing capabilities which can regulate your blood pressure. Don’t take my word for it, google the countless studies on celery juice lowering blood pressure.
Weight Loss Aid
Celery juice is FULL of vital vitamins and minerals! Therefore it is a key component for weight loss and why I use it as a staple at my fasting retreats! If you replace your first meal of the day with a 16-32 oz celery juice, you’ll still be able to get all the vital nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs to operate at optimal efficiency without gaining back the pounds that you just lost through all your efforts.
Fights Infections
Celery seeds hold antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. They’ve been used as a treatment for infection for decades. Celery extract has the same effect as celery seeds. It can inhibit the growth of bacteria and boost your immune system while fighting off any bacterial infections that might be manifesting in your body. Celery juice is like getting these properties directly into the bloodstream in a fraction of the time.
Reduces Candida
Since celery juice is excellent at fighting infections you can only imagine how good it is at fighting fungus! The high mineral content with the high diuretic capabilities make celery juice an excellent mono drink for those of you suffering with Candida.
Improves Digestion
Gas and bloating is as common as driving a car. There are many digestive benefits that you can get by drinking celery juice on a regular basis.
Reduces The Risk Of Urinary Tract Infections
Urinary tract infections are common and can throw off your routine for an entire week. Despite the measures that many people take such as drinking cranberry juice, you’ll often find a urinary tract infection popping up at the least convenient time anyway. Drinking celery juice daily can prevent this. In fact it can increase the production of urine and lower the levels of uric acid in your body.
Reduces the return rate of Cancer
One of the most important benefits that celery brings is its ability to prevent cancer. Countless research studies have been done on celery juice and it’s benefits are not only preventing cancer but also preventing the reoccurrence.
Salt Replacement
Celery juice is high in minerals and and can be used as a salt replacement in recipes! Ever been at the grocery and seen celery In a salt container? It’s sold as a seasoning for that very purpose. Not only is celery high in mineral content but it’s also an excellent sodium replacement for people with high blood pressure. Boosts the Immune System While we don’t necessarily think of celery as being a go-to source of vitamin C, it is there nevertheless! When you combine that with a number of other beneficial nutrients, this means celery is particularly effective at boosting your immune system. All the extra water in celery will then only help improve this further by getting it into your bloodstream quickly.
