CELERY



            The celery plant is mostly water, low in calories and super rich in vitamins and minerals such as A, C, K, folate, molybdenum, potassium, sodium, fiber, and other healthy components that lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Celery has diuretic and cleansing properties, improving kidney function and prevent constipation wich eliminate toxins within the body and prevent the formation of kidney stones. 
            Celery was used to treats nervous disorders like insomnia and anxiety, it also repels cancer cells balancing the ph levels wich reduce the body's acidity and inflammation. Celery has been shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties.
            Also, have been found that celery contains luteolin and a flavonoid called apigenin, compounds that fight cancer and has anti-tumor properties inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death). Studies have shown that celery is extremely effective at killing prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer and stomach cancer cells. 

MY USES

I add chopped celery to soups and I add stalks of celery to my daily smoothies. Because they are high in pesticides I submerge the celery in water and apple cider vinegar before consuming.
