Properties of celery
The distinctive smell and taste of firm, greenish celery stalks are the reason some people avoid them in their diet. However, its composition has such a beneficial effect on our body that it is worth getting used to. Especially if we are looking for natural ways to support metabolic processes. Consumed in its raw form, celery provides us with values such as vitamins PP and E, folic acid, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, and zinc. We also find plenty of fiber in it, which speeds up metabolism and fat burning. Including celery in your diet can also help alleviate joint pain and constipation, and act as a support for the liver, which it cleanses of accumulated toxins. It is also worth remembering that celery is extremely low in calories – 10 decagrams (0.1 kg) contains only 5 calories. It can therefore be an exceptionally healthy snack that, together with a herbal dip, replaces evening snacks like chips or pretzel sticks.

Celery stalks can be eaten as a snack during the day or in the evening, as an addition to salads, or in popular green smoothies with other vegetables and fruits. However, nutritionists especially recommend drinking pure celery juice obtained from a slow juicer. This ensures that the celery fibers remain inside the juicer, and we receive a slightly greenish juice with an exceptionally high concentration of mineral salts, which support our immunity and liver function. When choosing a model of slow juicer, pay attention to its parameters, which allow for juicing vegetables and fruits without losing valuable nutrients and vitamins.

If we want to speed up our metabolism and cleanse the body of toxins, it is worth drinking a glass of pure celery juice in the morning, before our first meal. Due to its low calorie content, it does not replace a nutritious breakfast. However, we should wait about 15 minutes before eating.
Fresh celery juice should be consumed within 24 hours, so you can take it with you to work or for a walk as an alternative to water. A convenient-to-transport LEAF glass bottle or a DROP thermal bottle will be the perfect vessel for storing it throughout the day. If you do not like drinking celery juice on an empty stomach, you can take it in two portions throughout the day, 15 to 30 minutes before or after eating subsequent meals.
The specific taste of celery can be slightly mellowed by adding the juice of one cucumber or apple at the beginning. Also, pay attention to removing the leaves from the celery stalks – these are what most contribute to the characteristic, slightly bitter taste of this vegetable.
