When so many foods have been named superfoods, it\u2019s hard to distinguish which ones truly stand out. Take celery, for example. It\u2019s been hailed as a solution to many gut and skin woes as well as a game changer for those with autoimmune disorders. While snacking on celery sticks and adding the crunchy vegetable in soups or stews certainly help you reap its benefits, celery enthusiasts particularly recommend drinking celery juice to extract its vitamins and minerals.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve heard of the celery juice trend, you may wonder\u2014what are the health benefits of celery, and does chugging the salty elixir actually support your health? It turns out, those green stalks have quite a bit to offer. Eating celery regularly can help <\/span>reduce inflammation<\/span><\/a>, support heart health, provide beneficial nutrients, and more. You can enjoy it raw, cooked, and even juiced. Here\u2019s why you should consider adding celery to your weekly grocery list.<\/span><\/p>\n

9 celery benefits<\/span><\/h2>\n

Celery is a low-calorie food\u2014even though it\u2019s not a significant source of protein, fat, or carbohydrates, per the <\/span>U.S. Department of Agriculture<\/span>. One serving (one cup or roughly four stalks of raw celery, and one cup of celery juice) contains 1.62 grams of fiber and plenty of antioxidants like vitamins C, A, and K. It\u2019s also a source of folate, potassium, manganese, and some B vitamins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With all those nutrients, it\u2019s no wonder why celery juice cleanses have gone mega-viral. A handful of books are dedicated solely to the benefits of celery, so it\u2019s got a strong backing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCelery juice has gained mainstream attention due to all the anecdotal claims related to improvements surrounding gut issues, autoimmune disorders, and skin breakouts,\u201d explains <\/span>Jenna Volpe, RDN<\/span><\/a>, a registered dietitian in Austin, Texas. \u201cWhile there isn\u2019t much formal direct research to confirm whether these claims are legit, one thing we can say for sure about celery is that it\u2019s naturally anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The taste of celery is often polarizing, but there are many delicious ways to prepare it both raw and cooked: Dice it into tuna salad, pair it with peanut butter or hummus, mix it into a soup, or pickle it for extra tang. And, of course, juicing is always an option to quickly take in more nutrients. Volpe recommends adding one cup of fresh or juiced celery to your daily meal plan\u2014however, juicing celery removes some of the beneficial dietary fiber. Then, get ready to enjoy these health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Reduce inflammation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Celery contains phytonutrients that help reduce inflammation, Volpe says. Specifically, they work by decreasing the activity of a class of inflammatory mediators called cytokines, she explains. Issues related to skin and gut health as well as autoimmune diseases are often linked to increased levels of inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inflammation is a risk factor for chronic health diseases like <\/span>cardiovascular disease<\/span><\/a>, stroke, and cancer as well. \u201cChronic inflammation can lead to a number of health concerns so consuming foods that are anti-inflammatory like celery can help protect you,\u201d adds <\/span>Laura Purdy, MD<\/span><\/a>, a board-certified family medicine physician based in Miami, Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Minimize oxidative stress<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rich in antioxidants, celery can help fend off oxidative stress that can lead to disease-causing cellular damage. \u201cAntioxidants are important because they protect your body from free radicals, which can lead to health risks,\u201d Dr. Purdy says. When left unchecked, these free radicals can contribute to diseases like heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the powerful antioxidants in celery include caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and others, which can have healing effects, <\/span>research shows<\/span><\/a>. The antioxidants in celery can also help reduce inflammation, further reducing the risk of disease, notes Volpe.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Reduce the risk of chronic health conditions<\/span><\/h3>\n

Chronic health conditions like heart disease, cancer, and stroke are among the leading causes of death in the United States, according to the <\/span>Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/span><\/a> (CDC). Prevention is multi-pronged, but eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and veggies like celery may help reduce the risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celery may have cardioprotective properties thanks to its abundance of bioactive compounds, some <\/span>research<\/span><\/a> suggests. The disease-fighting effects of celery may be linked to its ability to reduce inflammation. \u201cSince inflammation is a risk factor of heart disease, this may explain why celery has been proven to help prevent cardiovascular disease as well as improve high cholesterol and high blood pressure,\u201d Volpe says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, celery contains a flavonoid called apigenin, which may suppress the progression of cancer. The existing <\/span>research<\/span><\/a> has linked apigenin to the prevention of certain types of cancer, including colorectal, oral, and pancreatic cancers.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Lower blood pressure<\/span><\/h3>\n

Celery may also reduce the risk of stroke by helping to <\/span>lower blood pressure<\/span><\/a>, which is one of the risk factors for stroke. There are a few ways that celery can help those with hypertension. For starters, celery helps support healthy blood vessels by reducing inflammation in people with atherosclerosis, Volpe explains. This can, in turn, reduce high blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some studies have also shown celery juice to help decrease hypertension. In <\/span>one study<\/span><\/a>, one male with hypertension had improvements in his blood pressure after drinking celery juice for six months. Since hypertension medications may have unwanted side effects, celery may be a more tolerable alternative for some people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celery also provides nutrients with blood pressure-lowering effects, such as fiber, magnesium, and potassium, according to the <\/span>Cleveland Clinic<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Improve skin hydration<\/span><\/h3>\n

With roughly 95% water content, celery is a good source of hydration. That\u2019s right\u2014drinking eight cups of water isn\u2019t the only way to hydrate. Being well-hydrated has many benefits, including skin benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKeeping the body and skin well hydrated is key to maintaining skin health,\u201d says <\/span>Anthony Nikko, MD<\/span><\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in Houston, Texas. \u201cIt also contains vitamin A, which may help improve acne.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Increase regularity<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some refer to celery as \u201cnature\u2019s broom\u201d because of its gut-friendly properties. Its high water content certainly helps, but it\u2019s also a good source of the roughage known as dietary fiber which may help to combat bloating.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBoth the water and fiber content in celery can help move things along in the bathroom,\u201d Dr. Purdy says.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Improve cholesterol<\/span><\/h3>\n

In addition to lowering blood pressure, celery supports healthy heart function by improving cholesterol levels, Volpe says. High cholesterol is common and can be chronic, and though it\u2019s not something you can see, it\u2019s dangerous. It affects tens of millions of Americans and contributes to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, per the <\/span>Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Limiting foods high in saturated fat and increasing high-fiber foods can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, notes the <\/span>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a>. Incorporating celery may be especially helpful since it\u2019s <\/span>been shown<\/span><\/a> to lower elevated blood lipids like cholesterol and triglyceride levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Support bone and blood health<\/span><\/h3>\n

Celery provides many nutritional benefits, but it\u2019s especially potent in vitamin K. \u201cVitamin K is vital for bone health,\u201d Dr. Purdy says. Like calcium, vitamin K helps maintain strong bones. Without it, you may be at risk of bone fractures, especially hip fractures, <\/span>research<\/span><\/a> suggests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vitamin K is also an important nutrient for blood health. For this reason, it\u2019s known as the clotting vitamin. \u201cCelery is high in vitamin K, which allows for better blood coagulation and adds an additional benefit of lowering blood pressure,\u201d says <\/span>Rosa Becerra-Soberon, RDN<\/span><\/a>, a nutrition coach based in Durham, North Carolina.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Fight bacteria and fungus<\/span><\/h3>\n

A lesser-known celery benefit is that it\u2019s naturally antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal, Volpe says. <\/span>Studies<\/span><\/a> have shown that celery can inhibit different types of bacteria and fungi. One of its additional skin benefits is the ability to fend off the bacteria associated with staph (<\/span>Staphylococcus aureus<\/span><\/i>) and <\/span>methicillin-resistant S. aureus<\/span><\/i> (MRSA) infections, animal <\/span>research<\/span><\/a> suggests. More research is needed to determine if this effect extends to humans with MRSA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips for buying and storing celery<\/span><\/h2>\n

Celery wrapped in plastic will wilt faster because it gives off a gas called ethylene, which makes it ripen faster. Because celery is often packaged in plastic, the gas becomes trapped and accelerates this process.<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure you\u2019re buying the freshest celery, look for the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Bright green stalks; yellow celery is a sign the vegetable is turning<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Firm ribs; limp, bending stalks of celery with drooping celery leaves aren\u2019t fresh<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Tight bunches without breakage; you\u2019ll want to avoid spread-out bunches or broken celery<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Fresh celery can last for several weeks in your refrigerator if stored correctly. When you get home, unwrap the celery, give it a wash, wrap it loosely in foil, and stow it in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This will allow those gasses to circulate so it doesn\u2019t go bad quickly. To keep it crunchy for longer, avoid cutting into it. Once you cut it, it\u2019s best to store the pieces wet, though this drastically shortens the life-span of your celery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
