The Wonders of Celery Juice

Friday, September 18, 2009 by Sara Cox
Did you know that celery is actually a member of the carrot family?  It was first recorded as a plant in France in the year 1623.  Celery is an excellent source of potassium and sodium—two minerals your body needs.*

Potassium Does a Body Good
What is potassium and why do we need it?  Potassium helps kidneys function normally.  It’s also important for proper heart function and “plays a key role in skeletal and muscle contraction, making it important for normal digestion and muscular function, too.  A heart-healthy diet includes potassium from fruits, vegetables, and legumes.”**  Most Americans get less than 50 percent of the suggested 4,700 milligrams of potassium per day. 

Lower Your Blood Pressure with Celery Juice
Celery juice is getting more and more attention these days, as it is loaded with potassium and magnesium.  It also contains 3-n-butyl-phthalide, a compound that relaxes muscle cells in the artery walls and effectively lowers blood pressure.***

Celery Juice and Migraines
Celery juice is recommended both as a preventive treatment and as a treatment during the acute migraine episode.  altMD, a website for alternative medicine techniques, states that one of the preventive actions people can take to prevent migraines is to consume celery juice twice daily.**** Celery juice should be considered by anyone who suffers from migraine headaches, both as a preventive measure and a cure during acute attacks. 

During a migraine episode, many people have found celery juice to be effective as a cure.  MotherNature.com states “Celery juice is rich in coumarins, substances that have a soothing effect on the vascular system and that may benefit those prone to migraines, says naturopathic physician Michael Murray, N.D., author of The Complete Book of Juicing.  Fresh celery juice may be drunk alone or combined with other vegetable juices, such as carrot, cucumber, parsley and spinach. Dr. Murray says to drink an eight-ounce glass of the juice twice a day as a preventive, in conjunction with proper medical treatment.”*****


Other Celery Juice Benefits
The benefits of celery root juice are almost hard to overstate.  Celery is high in magnesium, potassium, iron and chlorophyll, and is one of the richest sources of organic sodium.  Celery juice can help rid the body of toxins and stimulate kidney function.  Its potential benefits extend to a variety of ailments, including asthma, constipation, fever, fluid retention, inflammation and insomnia. 

Celery juice is also believed to cleanse the body of carbon dioxide, cool you down in the hot weather, curb the craving for sweets, and help eliminate muscle cramps and fatigue during workouts.******
