Hydration
Celery is 95% water and contains potassium, anelectrolyte.
However, no specific studies have evaluated whether celery juice specifically helps with hydration.
Further research is needed to see how various celery preparations (extract, juice, etc.)
may impact specific inflammation-related health outcomes.
Blood Pressure Effects
A review of several studies explored the effects of celery consumption on blood pressure.
These studies examined different methods and amounts of celery.
Further studies are needed to explore optimal amounts and types of celery preparation.
However, the studies found a significant link between consuming celery in all forms and reducing overall blood pressure.
Blood Sugar Management
Research has explored luteolin’s effects onblood sugarand diabetes management.
Luteolin is a flavonoid found in significant amounts in celery.
Consumption of foods high in luteolin may positively affect blood sugar management.
Celery Juice Nutrition
Regarding nutrients, celery juice is highest in carbohydrates, followed by protein.
It is low in fat and relatively low in calories per serving size.
Both celery and celery juice are high in the flavonoids apigenin, luteolin, and polyphenol p-coumaric acid.
These nutrients provide numerous health benefits (as seen above).
The fiber content in celery juice can be increased by consuming unstrained celery juice.
Fresh celery juice can be kept refrigerated and covered for three to four days.
Who Should Avoid Celery Juice?
Celery and celery juice are generally regarded as safe for most individuals.
Modern nutritional analysis shows it is beneficial because of its high levels of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.
There are still many avenues for research on the direct benefits of celery and celery juice for human health.
People taking antihypertensive or antidiabetic medications should consult their healthcare provider before adding celery juice to their diet.
