Over the past few months our Instagram feeds have been flooded with babes sipping bright green juices. It seems like everyone from Kim Kardashian to your next door neighbour is doing it, celery is officially trending. But why? We were curious too babe, so we’ve done some investigating to find out if celery juice is everything it's cracked up to be.
Where did this trend come from?
Downing green juices loaded with vegetables for improved health isn’t a new fad by all means. However, 2019 has been all about celery juice. The idea of celery juice as a cure-all was discovered by New York Times best selling author, Anthony Williams, who claims drinking the green juice will reduce inflammation and improve gut health. Now, you’re probably already planning on munching down on some celery sticks for a snack aren't you? Well, the key is actually in the juicing! According to Williams, when celery is juiced, the pulp is removed and its healing benefits become more powerful. When celery is juiced, you're able to consume more of the good stuff quicker than you would if you were to eat it throughout the day.
How do I make celery juice?
If you want to be part of the #celeryjuicechallange, simply juice a large bunch of celery to create around 500ml of pure celery juice and drink it every morning. Best results have been proven when consuming on an empty stomach 30 minutes prior to food consumption, but a green juice at any time of the day is beneficial in our books.
What are the benefits of drinking celery juice?
Celery ticks a lot of boxes in terms of nutritional benefits. It’s high in dietary fibre, vitamin A, C & K, potassium and magnesium. It’s also low in calories, saturated fat and cholesterol. A vegetable with this many credentials can only mean good things for our bods - win! Drinking celery juice everyday is known to be a fix-it-all, liquid gold substance that has a long list of health benefits. It helps improve skin and digestion problems, constipation, gas, boating, acid reflux, acne, eczema, psoriasis and more.
