Forgotten Vegetable Benefits of Celery

In this new series of articles, we'll highlight the benefits of a different vegetable each time. This week, we're focusing on the benefits of celery. It's a vegetable that many people don't enjoy, but it's incredibly healthy!

1. A cure for your hangover

Got a hangover? Then you can refresh your body with celery juice. It promotes the release of water by your kidneys, which makes you need to go to the bathroom faster. This also helps toxins leave your body more quickly. Celery juice is also high in natural sodium levels, which your body needs when it's dehydrated, which is the case with a hangover.

2. Sleep well

Celery contains magnesium, which is known for its calming effects. This juice can help you relax and fall asleep naturally. It also lowers high blood pressure and stress. It's worth a try!

3. Beautiful skin

Celery may not taste very good (many people think so), but it's cheaper than all those expensive face creams. Did you know that celery can help you look younger? All those antioxidants and high vitamin K content work wonders for your skin. Vitamin K is great for keeping skin firm and elastic.

4. Strong bones

Bite into a celery stick, and you'll get high levels of calcium and silicon. Together, these strengthen your bones. Even better: they can even help repair damaged bones! To maximize this, it's best to eat celery raw (uncooked) and organic.

5. Good for your weight

Some people might still be familiar with Sonja Bakker's celery, which isn't surprising. Celery is very low in calories yet packed with vitamins. Besides vitamin K for healthy skin, celery also contains plenty of vitamins A, B, and C. Celery is also good for your digestion.
