7 Reasons to Celery Juice and How To Get Started Celery Juicing Right Now
So I mentioned previously that celery is the superfood that no one is talking about. That was my own observation after researching all of celery’s nutritional facts and knowing that I pretty much never hear anyone mention that you should really eat your celery.
Fast forward to now. Drinking Celery Juice has taken off and rightfully so! Here is why:
Celery does contain a lot of great nutrients.
In fact, celery is a source of:
vitamin C
vitamin K
vitamin B
vitamin A
iron
folate
potassium
and more!
Why is Celery Juice different or better than eating celery?
It’s not the same. Our bodies don’t benefit the same way. Here’s why: The celery skin greatly slows down our bodies ability to absorb the many nutrients that celery contains. When you juice the celery the skin is removed and our bodies directly benefit from the nutrients
Some of the health benefits of celery include:
✔️fights cancer
✔️combats liver disease
✔️reduces inflammation
✔️improves heart health
✔️calms nervous system
✔️helps detox the body
✔️natural energy booster
These are just SOME of the benefits. Overall, Celery Juice is GREAT for many chronic diseases or ailments. Celery Juice is also rich in electrolytes and are very hydrating.
Wow! That’s a lot of benefits, right? Yep, definitely a superfood if you ask me. Not to mention that celery is made up of over 90% water and has so few calories that it takes ‘negative calories’ to enjoy it. That means chewing celery burns more calories than what you are receiving from actually eating the celery. This sounds great for weight loss if you ask me!
Are you worried about eating too much sugar by starting to juice?
When we juice it requires more fruits and vegetables to produce juice than it does to just eat the same produce and feel full. 16 ounces of celery juice is typically an entire bunch or stalk of celery. Let’s put this into perspective. If I were enjoying my celery with hummus as a snack then I would likely only have 1-2 stems of celery at a time. Big difference, right? Right!
Fortunately, sugar spikes can occur via fruit, but is not likely to happen with celery!
