Let’s briefly look at some of the amazing things that make celery a nutritional powerhouse. To start it’s loaded with vitamins A, C, and K. It also has high fiber and water content, which helps with digestion and hydration too!
Celery is rich in antioxidants which help cleanse the body and eliminate free radicals. It has also been shown to support cardio-vascular health, reduce inflammation, bloating and hormonal balance.
You can make all sorts of delicious and healthy recipes using celery. You can eat it with some nut butter of your choice, for a quick snack or make a hearty soup. Don’t be afraid to make a slaw, add to a pesto, or serve it with a protein you love meat or veggie.
The incredible benefits of celery can be amplified with a juicer or a blender. Celery juice is a wonderful detoxifier, anti-inflammatory, and hydrator. A glass of celery juice in the morning can improve digestion, balance pH levels and give you a boost of energy. If you’re not sold on the taste by itself pair it with an apple, some lemon and cucumber for a taste boost. Not to mention the additional health benefits that those provide too!
