🧐 Celery Juice Benefits Abstract

Celery juice can help prevent diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases.

Drinking celery juice in the morning on an empty stomach helps boost your metabolism because it provides essential nutrients for proper organ function and cell production.

Because of its high antioxidant content, celery benefits skin health and can help you prevent diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Celery juice is good for your heart, blood pressure, eyes, hair, and nails!

The simplest way to make celery juice, as Medical Medium suggests is to Simply put one bunch of celery, stalks included, through a juicer or whip it up in a high-speed blender and strain out the pulp with a sieve. Ideally, you want to drink your celery juice freshly squeezed.

Hint: wondering what to do with juice pulp? Here are some creative ideas. We like adding celery juice pulp to our chickpea burgers.

This morning celery juice recipe contains ginger to help reduce inflammation, improve heart health, and boost immunity! If fighting inflammation is your main goal, alternate this juice with our anti-inflammation juice and broccoli juice.

☀️ Drinking fresh celery juice on an empty stomach

Drinking fresh celery juice on an empty stomach is beneficial because it helps you detoxify your body and provides you with essential nutrients.

You can better absorb the nutrients available within the inner fibers of celery that the juicer has extracted; thus, we can enjoy more of the celery stalks' health benefits.

These nutrients help our bodies remove free radicals and eliminate heavy metals, such as mercury and aluminum, found in our systems.

These metals accumulate over time and damage vital organs like the kidneys and liver. Celery helps to flush these metals out of the body.

Celery juice is also a great morning drink because it helps kick-start your metabolism, increasing fat-burning throughout the day and night and helping you lose weight. It contains an amino acid called tryptophan that has been found in studies to help suppress

This recipe is closely related to our Cucumber, Carrot, and Celery juice, which brings together more nutritional value for skin health.

🙋🏻‍♂️ My experience

I started making Organic Celery Juice detox last year after a terrible accident where I temporarily lost my ability to move two of my right-hand fingers. It was a matter of several factors.

One of the things affecting my health was the resulting chronic inflammation from the incident.

I read thoroughly about celery juice's benefits and how it could help, so I started drinking celery juice every morning.

I drank celery juice consistently for one month. Every morning, on an empty stomach.

I was amazed to see how quickly I got better, not only with inflammation but also helped me lose the extra pounds I gained after being convalescent in bed for three months and experiencing improved digestion.

I started seeing the benefits very early! It is suggested to stay on track for a couple of weeks, ideally 21 days, but I started noticing effects from day 5th.

To fight against chronic illnesses, you should know about the benefits of drinking celery juice daily. Some call it a miracle juice... I wouldn't call any drink a miracle drink, but it helped me get back to my life faster.

🧾 Ingredients

• Organic celery - about a third of a large bunch. Even better if it is in season.
• Fresh ginger - a great companion to enhance the flavor of pure celery juice.
• Green apple - adds flavor, vitamins, and sweetness.

See the recipe card for quantities.

🔪 Instructions

How to make celery juice?

It is effortless to make Detox Morning Celery Juice. The easiest method is to put the celery in a Juicer to extract the juice in seconds.

If you don't have a Juicer, the second method is to place the celery in a blender (affiliate link)and blend until smooth. Then, strain through a strainer, cheesecloth, or nut-milk bag and serve. (see below this section for the step-by-step guide).

Not yet into juicing? I highly recommend getting a Cold-Pressed Juicer. Great investment. If you are unsure, give it a try with a blender, a more typical kitchen artifact, and see how you like it.

What is the ideal amount of celery juice to receive the healing benefits?

The ideal celery juice quantity for all its healing benefits is sixteen ounces a day. However, you may choose to increase your intake up to twenty-four to thirty-two ounces a day if suffering from chronic illness or symptoms.  

Wash and chop your ingredients

You only need to chop the celery and apple coarsely, so they fit the juicer.

Celery leaves are edible and nutritious, but they have a bitter taste. I sometimes use them, but I recommend experimenting first with celery stalks so you get acquainted with the flavor and start including leaves if you wish.

Otherwise, you can eat celery leaves in salads or use them for compost.

Juice

Turn your juicer on and run all coarsely chopped ingredients through, using the tamper. We recommend mixing the different ingredients so they all pass smoothly. If you use large chunks of apple, the outer skin may get stuck, so we use quarters.

Sometimes I add some water while the machine is still working to push out stubborn remnants that may have gotten stuck.

You can optionally add fresh lemon juice and drink immediately.

💡 How to make celery juice without a juicer?

Celery juicing is also easy if you are using a blender.

Just as I explained before, roughly chop your four celery stalks, green apple, and ginger.

Add all the ingredients to a blender.

Add one cup of water to a high-speed blender and mix for 30 seconds.

Pass the resulting mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, colander, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag, to strain out the pulp. Optionally add lemon juice.

Note: if you prefer to keep the juice's fiber, you can skip the straining and add more water to make it thinner.

🫙 Storing

Yes, you can store celery juice in the fridge; make sure you put a lid on it. It is always better to make it fresh, as specific vitamins like Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, are "volatile"... basically, they lose strength with time.

Still, this effect can be counteracted by closing it and storing the Juice in an air-tight container. Fresh Juice will always win over 1-day or 2-days Juice, but fridge-stored Juice will always win vs. not juicing.

From what I have researched, we are talking about a 25% daily decrease in properties...not bad at all, but it is worth considering.

Heart disease

There is some evidence to suggest that celery juice may have benefits for heart health due to its high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, that affect blood pressure, aid with inflammatory diseases, and improvement on cholesterol levels.

All important factors in maintaining heart health.

Overall, while more research is needed to fully understand the effects of celery juice on heart health, there is some evidence to suggest that it may be beneficial due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Blood pressure

Research suggests that celery helps lower blood pressure by acting as a smooth muscle relaxant, improving the flow of calcium and potassium in cells and allowing blood vessels to expand and contract with greater ease.

Celery’s sodium content helps stabilize blood pressure, meaning that if you have high blood pressure, it helps to bring it down, and if you have low blood pressure, it will help to bring it up. (6)

Drinking celery juice is also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and antioxidants, both of which are important for supporting a healthy metabolism (12). In fact, studies show that people who drink celery juice regularly tend to have lower body mass indexes and smaller waistlines than those who don't.

Bone health

Celery juice contains several nutrients that are important for maintaining bone health. Here are some of the benefits of celery juice for bone health:

1. High in calcium: Calcium is an essential mineral for building and maintaining strong bones. Celery juice is a good source of calcium, which can help keep bones healthy and strong.

4. Alkalizing effects: Celery juice has an alkalizing effect on the body, which can help reduce the risk of bone loss. An acidic diet can lead to the loss of calcium from bones, but an alkaline diet can help prevent this.

Overall, including celery juice in your diet can be beneficial for our bones due to its high calcium and vitamin K content, anti-inflammatory benefits, and alkalizing effects. However, it should not be relied upon as the sole source of these nutrients, and should be consumed as part of a well-balanced diet.

Mental health

Celery juice offers numerous mental health benefits that can help you lead a happier, healthier lifestyle. The nutrition and anti-inflammatory properties of celery juice can help to stabilize your mood, preventing abrupt shifts, which are often linked to a lack of nutrition or low-grade inflammation.

Further, regular celery juice consumption has been proven to help slow memory loss and protect cognitive health. Though celery juice should not replace medication, it can be used as a powerful supplement to medical treatment for mental health issues.

Not only that, but the antioxidants and vitamins in celery juice can protect scalp blood vessels from damage and stimulate increased hair growth, while Vitamin K nourishes healthy, shiny hair follicles. With Celery Juice, it's never been easier to look good!

💭 Best way to drink celery juice

The best way to drink this magnificent juice is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach by itself.

I propose adding a green apple and ginger to this recipe because many people find pure celery juice too bitter and fall off track before experimenting with this juice's great benefits.

My twist to make it delicious

I add ginger and an apple to our juice because ginger adds an immune system booster property we all need these days. I also like replacing apples with fresh pineapple for a change!

Read on: Spinach Ginger Smoothie » and Grapefruit Ginger Smoothie »

Pineapples also have fantastic diuretic and anti-inflammatory benefits, making them a great match.

I add the green apple for its antioxidant properties and sweetness, enhancing the flavor and making it delicious, which I cannot say about this morning's green juice by itself.

Of course, you can add as many fruits and vegetables to your morning juice, but keeping it simple saves time and allows your body to absorb the nutrients much better.

It happened to me. So adding an apple and ginger during the first weeks will help you get used to the flavor of celery because it tastes delicious.

Then little by little, you can increase the ratio of celery vs. apple and ginger and drink it by itself.

It doesn't mean that it won't work; it is just that celery juice's most significant benefits are realized when consumed on its own.

Wait for 15 to 30 minutes before consuming anything else.

Celery Juice is not a breakfast; it is a tonic. You still need to have breakfast afterward.

I drink my morning celery juice pre-workout and eat a protein breakfast post-workout. Then, I eat something like a Tofu Scramble or Homemade Granola to replenish my body with the minerals lost from sweating.

Also, I prefer exercising with as little as possible in my stomach for two reasons:

• Avoid any pain in the right side of the belly.
• Feeling lighter
• I can eat a full protein-packed breakfast, which my body will absorb better.

I often drink beet juice after working out for its anti-inflammatory, stamina, and muscle power-improving benefits.

Drinking Celery juice in the morning is great because it has anti-inflammatory properties.

In addition, the ingredients in this juice help improve skin health, improve the digestive tract's function, and help relax nerves, which are sometimes damaged due to unhealthy lifestyles and food choices.
