You probably often use celery, but mixed with other vegetables, and do
not often consider its huge contribution to your better
health. Apparently, this vegetable offers amazing health benefits, and
we will give you 10 good reasons to start loving it:
A full stalk of celery includes only 10 calories and plenty of water,
so its consumption will keep you full and help you lose extra pounds.
Reduces stress
Celery is rich in magnesium, as much as 11mg per 100mg, and this
mineral is a known stress reliever. Additionally, it is high in
essential oils as well. The consumption of this vegetable will soothe
the nervous system and will also help you fall asleep easily.
Regulates alkaline balance
Celery prevents the acidic state in the body, so its regular consumption will maintain a balance of the Ph levels in the body.
Improves your sex life
This vegetable is high in two sex pheromones, androstenone and
androstenol, which are released while chewing. This will significantly
boost the arousal levels.
Fights cancer
Celery has a flavonoid known as luteolin which delays the formation
of breast cancer cells, and inhibits the growth of cancer cells,
especially in the case of the pancreas and colorectal cancer.
Also, you should know that the darker the color of the celery, the stronger the taste.
Note that you should steam the celery for best effects, as in this
way, you will manage to preserve its original taste and up to 99% of its
nutrients. The nutrients will be also better preserved if you chop it
while fresh and store them in the fridge.
