Celery: Green Goodness

Celery: Green Goodness

Do you like celery? I actually love it! I truly believe that when you change your diet to mostly plant-based foods, your palate changes. I really crave very earthy-tasting veggies. Eating celery plain is enough for me, but adding humus or peanut butter increases the nutritional value. Although celery is made up of 95% water it is loaded with fiber, antioxidants, potassium, and vitamins (A, C, K, and Folate). Buying organic as much as possible is also a good practice. 

Celery May:

  • Regulate blood pressure 
  • Act as an anti-inflammatory 
  • Fight damage to cells
  • Help with bowel movements
  • Aid weight loss

Juicing celery several times a week is part of my healthy eating routine. Some people do not juice because of the time it takes and also the pulp that is often wasted. The Omega juicer is pretty easy to clean and doesn’t require too much time. Use the pulp to make celery soup or crackers. Adding the pulp to smoothies will also provide a dose of fiber. We spend a great deal of time engaged in activities that take much longer than juicing, but are less beneficial for our health. Note that too much celery can cause digestive issues for some people. 

Incorporating the goodness of green veggies into your diet is definitely a win. Why not start with celery? Give it a try!
