So....here are some facts about the benefits of eating celery which I found in the net....very interesting indeed. I eat celery a lot lately.....glad to know that is has a lot of good benefits to my health :)
According to Hippocrates (the father of medicine), celery calms the nerve – perhaps because of the high calcium content. It will reduce high blood pressure too. The super-food is filled with Vitamins A, B and C, as well as loads of potassium and good sodium. The vegetable is filled with sodium, however this is not table salt were talking about, the sodium rich veggie is essential for keep arteries and veins running smooth and limiting the chances of varicose veins.
It’s good on kidney and will help eliminate body’s waste through the urine.
Celery clears uric acid from painful joints and may help the treatment of arthritis and rheumatic problems. It is used in aromatherapy and other traditional way of healing like Ayurveda. In Japan, rheumatic patients are sometimes put on a celery only diet.
Celery also helps the kidney an acts an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Another benefit of celery is the fact that you can eat a lot of it without thinking much about your waistline. Celery actually has almost zero calorie.
