Celery juice benefits

Cancer

Celery contains a flavonoid called apigenin, which has been shown to kill cancer cells. The polyacetylenes in celery interestingly contain chemo-protective compounds that help to reduce toxicity while boosting immunity and help slow the growth of mutated cells.

Better digestion

Celery juice may help restore hydrochloric acid, which helps us digest things, like protein, faster and more efficiently. Celery juice is believed to replenish depleted levels of gastric mucus that is needed in the stomach lining to heal and prevent ulcers and acid reflux. It’s good for constipation, bloating, puffiness and water retention, acting as a gentle, mild, natural laxative and diuretic.

LDL cholesterol

Celery contains a compound called  3-n-butylphthalide (BuPh) that has been reported to have lipid-lowering action, reducing the bad cholesterol (LDL) in our bloodstream.

Good for joint pain, gout and rheumatoid arthritis

Celery Juice is a natural anti-inflammatory. It contains polyacetylene which reduces chronic joint pain, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis. Not only does it soothe the body, but it is also believed to soothe the nerves, with calming and relaxing properties.

Good for high blood pressure

Research shows that celery helps lower high blood pressure by acting as a smooth muscle relaxant, improving the flow of calcium and potassium in cells, allowing blood vessels to expand and contract with greater ease.

Good for liver

Celery juice improves liver function by increasing the production of enzymes. Studies show that celery helps reduce fat build-up in the liver. The nutrients in celery protect the liver, and actually, help the liver produce enzymes that help flush fat and toxins out.

Reduces glucose levels

Research shows that compounds found in celery can help reduce glucose levels with no increase in insulin.

Good alkalizer

Celery juice is alkalizing.

Highly nutritious

Celery is loaded with essential minerals and vitamins such as folate, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin K and vitamin C.

Good for skin
