I’m not really a fan of celery as crudité, …….too tasteless unless the pieces are stuffed with something like peanut butter or cheese. 🙂 But I discovered I actually like the mild taste of it juiced, and I can tell it feels good to my body. After hearing Medical Medium Anthony William recommend celery juice on more than one occasion, I started adding it to my morning routine at least 3 or 4 times a week. I use the 2nd method shown in the video below for making it because I happen to have a Vitamix. I don’t strain the pulp out, not only because that saves time, but you get ALL the nutrients and fiber that way. After reading about how good it is for you, you just may want to give it a try yourself!

Celery: Just Juice IT!

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. It 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. It is a well known natural diuretic and has ample ability to flush toxins out of the body.

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.

The juice has significant anti-inflammatory properties making it highly beneficial for those who suffer from autoimmune conditions such as fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, migraines, vertigo, IBS, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, acne, Lupus, Guillain-Barre, Sarcoidosis, Raynaud’s, Meniere’s, GERD, bursitis, Restless Leg Syndrome, and gout.

If you’ve been following my work for any amount of time, you probably know that one of the things I most often recommend for healing is to drink straight celery juice daily. It might seem simple, but that’s the the best part – it is simple. With just some celery and a way to juice it, you can transform your health and digestion in as little as one week. Celery juice is that powerful for healing.

For best results, aim for 16 oz of celery juice every morning on an empty stomach. If you find that is too much for you at first, even 4 or 8 oz per day is a wonderful start. Over time you can work up to 16 oz per day.

It’s very important that you have your celery juice on an empty stomach. The best time is in the morning before you’ve eaten breakfast. This allows for optimal digestion and healing benefits.

Preparation:

Wash 1 bunch of celery and run through a juicer, drink immediately for most therapeutic benefits. However, if you prefer, you can also blend the celery in a Vitamix, Nutribullet, or any high speed blender with a little water and either drink as is, or strain as desired.

Optional: if you find the taste of straight celery juice too strong, you can add a cucumber and/or an apple to the juice, however this will slightly dilute its effectiveness. Or, if you prefer a more gentle juice, you can make straight cucumber juice instead, which is also very healing and beneficial

Personal Note: Since I make my “juice” in the Vitamix and leave all the pulp in, I only drink about a juice glass full at a time. Usually I’ll use about 1/2 a “head” of celery and, once I add water to make it liquid/drinkable, get enough for 3 mornings’ worth. I know the article stresses the benefit of drinking it plain, but I often add some lemon juice and peel (organic!) and either a bunch of cilantro, which is great for detoxing heavy metals, or a cucumber.

And here’s something that may be of interest to some of you…..a free webinar on detoxing from Green Smoothie Girl Robyn Openshaw…..

Wednesday I’m holding TWO live webinars at 12 PM and 7 PM—choose your time!—to show you everything you need to know to detox effectively, and safely.

No more diets to lose weight. Instead, detoxify your body, and the health benefits will blow you away—and ONE of them is painless, permanent weight loss, and loss of cellulite.

(That’s something a calorie-restricting DIET can’t do for you. Plus, they backfire!)

I’ll give you ideas on how to do it fast, or slow. Either way, the point is to rinse your body of the built-up toxic chemicals we accumulate from the air, water, and food that we’re all exposed to.

You’re going to love being empowered.

I’ve been working hard to share with you the best nuggets of my many years of research, all over the world.

This Webclass just for GreenSmoothieGirl followers is FREE, and we have only a limited number of positions left to fill before the webinar is full!

Join us by grabbing a spot in the day or evening session, and I’ll fill you in. Don’t do another diet, or cleanse, or detox….until you hear me out, on the good, bad, and ugly!
