CELERY: WHAT CONDITIONS DOES IT PROTECT AGAINST

Celery belongs to the Apiaceae family and is related to celery root, dill, carrots, fennel, and parsley.

It is a vegetable with high nutritional value and powerful antioxidant properties, rich in nutrients and vitamins A, C, and K, while being low in calories.

Remarkably, each stalk contains only 6 calories.

Other important benefits of consuming celery include reducing blood pressure and lowering inflammation in the body.

Celery juice is especially beneficial for women suffering from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune thyroid condition where the immune system attacks thyroid cells, gradually destroying them and eventually leading to hypothyroidism.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism include low energy and persistent fatigue. Celery juice significantly boosts energy levels and helps those affected to be more active and productive.

It can also help combat bloating and is particularly beneficial for the skin, especially for those with acne, dry, or sensitive skin.

Celery juice supports bone health due to its content of vitamin K, calcium, and magnesium. These nutrients help build strong bones and maintain joint health.

?How to prepare celery juice:

1. Wash the celery thoroughly and remove the roots.

2. Cut it into large pieces.

3. Place the celery pieces in a blender, add a little water (about 150 ml), and blend until smooth.

4. Strain the pulp using a cheesecloth and drink the juice.

5. If you don’t want to waste the leftover pulp, you can freeze it in ice cube trays and use it in cooking.

6. If you have a juicer, the process is simpler: just cut the celery into pieces and feed them into the juicer.
