Celery


Celery is a strongly alkaline food that helps to counteract acidosis, purify the bloodstream, aid in digestion, prevent migraines, relax the nerves, reduce blood pressure, and clear up skin problems. Celery contains compounds called coumarins which are known to enhance the activity of certain white blood cells and support the vascular system. Celery’s rich organic sodium content has the ability to dislodge calcium deposits from the joints and holds them in solution until they can be eliminated safely from the kidneys. Celery is a well known natural diuretic and has ample ability to flush toxins out of the body. Celery also has significant anti-inflammatory properties making it an essential food for those who suffer from auto-immune illnesses. It also contains significant amounts of calcium and silicon which can aid in the repair of damaged 
ligaments and bones. Celery is rich in vitamin A,  magnesium, and iron which all help to nourish the  blood and aid those suffering from rheumatism, high blood pressure, arthritis, and  anemia.  Fresh celery juice is one of the most powerful and healing juices one can  drink. Just 16 oz of fresh celery juice a day can transform your health and digestion in as little as one week. Celery has always been on top of my most disliked vegetable list (yes, even I have a list), however, I have found that it actually tastes good in a drink....so if you also do not like celery, try to work it into your diet somewhere. It is an obvious purifier that we can all benefit from. I'll try if you will :)
