Medical Medium explains that celery can help you lose weight through liver detoxification. It stated that sluggish, toxic liver is one of the mysteries of weight gain.
Palumbo, however, disagrees with Medical Medium. According to Palumbo, the best way to detox is cleaning up the diet. This is done by reducing processed foods with more whole foods, such as vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and grains.
Antioxidants together with anti-inflammatory polyphenols contained in celery juice eliminate many free radicals and toxins in the body. Effects of enzymes such as glutathione, reductase, catalase, are increased.
Lipid peroxidation is reduced by the body and accumulation of lipid in the liver is also reduced. It helps in preventing hepatic cancers, cirrhosis and non-fatty alcoholics in the body.
Maintaining Good Bones and Kidney Health
Palumbo stated that Vitamin K is a nutrient we do not reflect upon, but it is related to bone health. In connection to bone health, attention is paid to calcium and vitamin D. However research is coming up on why vitamin K is necessary, as stated by Palumbo.
He also stated that as women get older, it is vital to know what can keep the bone stronger
A review that was published in the May–August 2017 issue of Clinical Cases in Mineral and Bone Metabolism explains that vitamin K may function effectively with vitamin D in improving bone health and also prevent fractures.
Vitamin K is also shown to boost vascular health in people with kidney failure.
Extracts from celery leaf are capable of restoring the minerals and vitamin loss that occurs in the urine. Celery juice is rich with two major minerals that work in improving the kidney condition in the body. The major minerals are potassium and sodium, which acts as fluid regulators in the body.
Celery juice helps in preventing urinary tract infections and takes out unwanted calcium deposits through urine. This helps in preventing kidney stones, gallstones, and atherosclerosis.
Helps Relieves The Digestion And Constipation Problems
Celery is rich with high fiber content. Dietary fiber optimizes the digestion process making it move smoothly. Fiber helps in free bowel movement, which is very important in preventing irritable bowel syndrome and constipation.
Promotes Sleep
Research shows that plant-based diets help in improving sleep. Celery belongs to one of such vegetables that are high in polyphenols. They improve sleep and the brain health in the body.
Celery added to the daily smoothie enhances the memory. Apigenin found in celery exhibits powerful neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties.
