There are many health benefits to eating and drinking celery. Celery has quickly become one of the most popular vegetables to use for smoothies or juices. Why is that?
Below we will list some of these reasons:
Celery, wow what a vegetable!
Celery has a long history. Whether it comes from the Mediterranean, Switzerland, 4000 B.C. or from ancient China, we can jointly agree that celery has been a watershed for a long time. As loved as hated, despite strong opinions, celery has found its way back in raw form in today’s food culture.
There are many health benefits to eating and drinking celery. Below we will list some of them:
Celery is a vegetable that also contains low levels of sugar for the vegetable family. This is of course positive for reducing sugar even if they are fructose and can have a positive effect on blood sugar, weight, stress, and energy levels.
Celery contains lots of phytonutrients. These can have an anti-inflationary effect. So if you exercise a lot, they help for instance with sore muscles or other inflation the body may have.
Celery contains large amounts of antioxidants. Antioxidants have many areas where they improve wetness and well-being. Some of these areas are heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and – according to some – cancer. They also provide a stronger and more radiant effect on the skin.
Celery also contains a lot of fiber. Fiber is something that we generally get too little of in today’s diet. Fiber helps to have a good intestinal flea and digestion which in turn boosts the immune system. The important thing then is that you do not strain your juices but bring the meat. However, high fiber intakes are in for everyone so if you want to avoid them then you can drink celery juice.
Vitamins are very abundant in celery juice, especially A, C, and K.
Celery juice might also contribute to stabilizing blood pressure, both via fluid balance, but also via sodium and potassium. As mentioned above it also has anti-inflammatory effects, which are good for the skin and stomach. If you like to exercise, it is perfect to drink celery juice after exercise to restore electrolyte balance.
To summarise the super juice of celery, here are some points it is said to benefit:

Global distribution often means challenges when it comes to shelf-life. Extending shelf-life often means pasteurization – giving the juice a longer life span but also destroying much of its rich content. The antioxidants and vitamins are degraded during processing and pasteurization. Treating juice with juiceCEPT® shows outstanding results. CEPT® is a patented technology developed by the Swedish company OptiCept Technologies®. CEPT® stands for Closed Environment Pulsed Electric Field Treatment. It is a method developed to process biomass such as food and other products. CEPT® is a sustainable and eco-friendly method since it reduces organic waste, extends shelf-life, and enhances and preserves the quality of the product in question. The technology has proven very effective for the treatment of juices. The juiceCEPT® deploys technology for juice production that improves the yield and the quality of extracted juice from fruits, berries, and vegetables. The treatment is continuous and easy to retrofit into existing juices extraction lines.
