so what would happen if you ate celery

or drank celery juice every single day

now there’s so many amazing foods that

create very cool effects on your body

and celery is one of them but

unfortunately there’s not a lot of

emphasis on

using foods to handle body problems i

mean if you take a look at wikipedia for

example there’s all this missing

information on the benefits of using

celery for various health conditions i

mean i’m going to put the research down

in the description below

but basically wikipedia basically says

it does nothing there’s no research etc

etc

but the problem with wikipedia as a

source of

information is they’re not really

focused on truthful information or

correct information they’re focused more

on the majority opinion or who has the

loudest or

persistent voice but i’ve said this

before and i’ll say it again what i have

found is you take what everyone agrees

on

absolutely as

truth

especially in the area of health

and you’re going to find the truth is

more in the exact opposite direction but

let me get back to celery one stalk of

celery is only like 20 calories

it’s 95 water so you really only have

five percent nutrients but that five

percent can create some

really cool effects

in fact before the 16th century

uh celery was used as a medicine not as

a food it was used in arabic countries

it was used in india

china

so celery goes way back there’s this

very interesting compound

called 3n butyl phthalates and this

phytonutrient

relaxes smooth muscle okay

so it helps you lower your blood

pressure

it helps with asthma

and bronchitis

if the coronary artery is constricted it

can help to vasodilate that

and help get more oxygen and blood flow

to the heart muscle this compound also

helps any type of muscle spasm in the

body so if your muscles are very very

tight and spasmodic

cellular juice can help you so if you

compare that compound and its effect

with certain type of medications for

blood pressure

a lot of the blood pressure medications

make you end up feeling fatigued

lightheaded and even forgetful and that

has to do with what those medications do

to blood flow in your brain so it

basically can help you lower your blood

pressure without any side effects that’s

cool and it also has an effect on

cortisol so if cortisol is lowered

you’re going to feel calmer you’re going

to have less anxiety

you’re going to have better sleeping so

a good time to have celery is like right

after dinner and sometimes i replace

that

with my salad so sometimes i won’t have

a salad i might have

four or five or six stalks of celery and

sometimes i’ll add peanut butter

sometimes not but i’ll make sure that

the peanut butter is organic because of

the pesticides and one point about

celery celery is unfortunately one of

those

vegetables that

comes with a lot of pesticides at least

15 different pesticides so always

consume organic celery

because you don’t need all those

chemicals all right the next cool effect

that celery or celery juice has on your

body is in the kidney so celery or

celery juice can decrease your risk of

getting kidney stones it can help

dissolve kidney stones

it can also help dissolve

uric acid crystals as in gout

because it actually lowers uric acid so

in one study just using like 34

milligrams of celery seed extract two

times a day created a significant

improvement in pain it was like 68

less pain and celery seed extract also

works with

osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

so it creates a significant reduction in

pain and i think one reason it works in

gout is it’s a very good alkalizer and

anytime you change the ph of your urine

to make it slightly more alkaline

the uric acid crystals

cannot be formed so these crystals

basically don’t get formed and you don’t

have gout pain celery is good to help

decrease the risk of stroke and also

recovery from a stroke probably because

it relaxes the smooth muscle and in your

arteries as well as increasing

circulation all right epigenin this is

another phytonutrient in celery

that has a very powerful effect on your

blood sugars so anytime you’re going to

improve blood sugars you’re going to

make insulin more sensitive you’re going

to improve conditions like insulin

resistance and all the other effects

that happen when you improve that like

weight loss less fatty liver improved

heart

better energy in the list goes on and on

and on epigenin is a very powerful

anti-inflammatory so celery can help get

rid of inflammation and of course that’s

going to help arthritis and rheumatoid

and things like that as well there’s

also some research on that compound

increasing neurogenesis which is the

re-growing of nerve cells all right

moving right along i found another study

that drinking celery juice improves eye

strain okay so let’s say you’re in front

of the computer all the time and your

tired eyes celery juice can help as well

as improving blurred vision in another

study i found that

certain compounds in celery juice

have a similar effect to

milk thistle as liver protection and

that’s pretty cool milk thistle has very

powerful hepatoprotective properties

it can protect the liver cells from

poisons toxins

medications well apparently celery has a

similar effect which is very cool also

celery can increase bile flow helping

you produce more bile celery juice is

very antibacterial it’s antiviral and

like i said before it’s alkalizing so if

you have too much acidity that could be

a problem so let’s say for example

you’re doing a prolonged fast

and you’re on the ketogenic diet and you

have like massive ketones and your ph is

too much on the asset side

celery juice can help alkalize you now

i’m going to put a link down below to

help you identify if you’re too alkaline

or too

acid celery juice also has

higher amounts of sodium but it’s

nothing to worry about it’s not that

significant and in addition to that you

have higher amounts of potassium so the

potassium and sodium ratios are really

good with celery juice and this is why

it’s really good for

fluid retention edema

it’s good to hydrate you it’s good to

balance your fluids it’s basically a

good electrolyte so in summary if you

were to start consuming celery or celery

juice on a regular basis

you’re going to notice your kidneys are

going to be healthier you’re going to

have less

gout uric acid and arthritis you’re

going to sleep better you’re going to

have less stress

and overall you’re going to feel very

relaxed now one point i want to bring up

about celery juice when you’re fasting

because the sugar content in celery

juice is so

minor so you’re not going to have to

really worry about the celery juice

bumping you out of ketosis if you’re

going to drink a small amount of it and

especially if you don’t add things like

apple juice or carrot juice

or a little cellar juice either in the

morning or during the day i think it’d

be a really great thing to do for your

overall health even if you are doing

fasting now if you haven’t seen my video

on consuming whole lemons i think that

would be a really good next video to

watch check it out i put it right here
