Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 CELERY: Celery is high in magnesium, iron and chlorophyll, which is an excellent blood builder. It is one of the richest sources of organic sodium. Celery juice is excellent for those who enjoy vigorous workouts - it helps maintain valuable body fluid and electrolytes. Celery juice is also a superb nerve tonic. Do you have a headache? Drink a glass of celery juice. Even the ancient Greeks used celery for the universal problem of headaches. Do you live in the inner city full of air pollution? Celery/apple juice is able to cleanse the body of carbon dioxide. Were you thinking of buying an air conditioner? Celery juice cools down the body and is great for hot weather. Are you on a diet and craving a snickers bar? Celery juice helps curb the craving for sweets. Do you have a problem with muscle cramps and fatigue during workouts? The potassium / sodium balance in celery juice will be a great asset. Celery juice alone tastes bitter and is usually mixed with carrots or apples. It is great for adding a salty taste to vegetable juices. Always leave the celery leaves on for juicing, but juice the celery last because it is stringy and clogs the juice machine. Look for firm, solid stalks with bright green leaves.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Cool! Who knew? I'd always heard celery was just for crunch and flavor, not nutrition. I love it and I'm glad to learn otherwise. Thanks for the post. Cheers, Trish -- Trish Carr http://home.comcast.net/~bantrymoon/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
