So, here’s the scoop…
If you follow me over on Instagram, then you know I’ve started drinking celery juice every morning. You all asked me to share some of the benefits of celery juice and I wanted to get this post up asap so you can start sooner rather than later! I meant to start it over a year ago, but I finally bit the bullet and started in the new year. I bought this juicer (it’s under 60) and headed to the store to buy a few days worth of celery.
I’m a big believer in “it doesn’t hurt to try it” when it comes to health fads that just involve good foods/juices. But, with all the research and unbelievable stories I’ve heard, I truly think celery juice is going to become a really big thing.
Here are some of the benefits of celery juice (yes, I said SOME. Crazy right). These are collected from a bunch of great nutritionists/medical professionals talking about it, as well as from people’s success stories because I am in no way an expert!
- Healing for acne
- Reduces bloating
- Reduces bloating It breaks down a lot of the fats and proteins sitting in your body
- Heals your digestive system
- Helps your hydrochloric acid levels for digestion
- Helps your liver immune system
- Helps weight loss
- Cleanses the liver of anything toxic
- Decreases Inflammation
- Prevents high blood pressure
- Helps lower cholesterol
- Helps you sleep
- Helps prevent kidney stones
- Often relieves migraines
- Balances PH levels
- Can help prevent cancer
- More Energy
So how do you do it?
You take a stalk of celery (the WHOLE thang, you can do it) and put it into the juicer and walah, you are done. It really is that fast. I cut off the leaves because they add a little bit more bitterness to the juice, but if you can keep them on, you go!
The trick is to not add anything else, AT ALL. You can do it!! It tastes terrible in the beginning, but the benefits of celery juice are so worth it. All you have to do is drink 16 oz (about what you should get from a stalk) every morning at least 15-30 minutes before eating.
If you start to see results, DM/email/comment and let me know! I want us all to be able to talk through it together. It’ll probably be a conversation over on Simply Fitness + Health, so come join in on the fun if you’re feeling chatty.
Good luck and way to start 2019 strong!
