CELERY JUICE

Man this really is the marmite of the health and wellness world at the moment. Some people absolutely raving about the stuff and many (mostly qualified nutritionists) slating it. So ok to break it down:
____________
It is a bit of a fad all resulting from a man called The Medical Medium who is claiming celery juice everyday drunk on an empty stomach can cure many many ailments such from eczema, to acid reflux, Epstein bar virus and shingles. Pretty amazing stuff right?
____________
Well there isn’t much scientific evidence as far as I can see. But that’s not necessarily to mean it’s all rubbish. You only have to look at #celeryjuice to see the reems of anecdotal backing. 
____________
Celery and it’s juice is very high in vitamin K (a decent serving of vitamin K is around 99% of recommended daily amount depending on the person) and lots of potassium so potentially useful for bone health and blood pressure (amongst other things).💪
____________
And guys at the end of the day despite the lack of science this is CELERY JUICE! There is not much downside to drinking a glass of this everyday. I’ve tried it myself to see what all the fuss is about and although my skin didn’t glow like I was promised, it didn’t do me any harm. I just wasn’t so partial to the taste to be honest. Many nutritionists like to advise on a glass of green juice everyday 💚I don’t necessarily disagree, but I don’t actively encourage clients as I don’t think it’s always very practical for everyone. Celery juice contains very little calories, some lovely vitamins and minerals to start the day and of course the added benefit of hydration. And it’s cheap! Celery is not a mega expensive vegetable and probably not one used a lot in the average western diet so yeah include it more 🙌
____________
I’d probably recommend buying #organic as celery is on the #dirtydozen list. But honestly if you’re going to start incorporating it and you don’t fancy drinking it or don’t own a juicer, eating the stuff would be just as good if not better as juices don’t contain fibre. But otherwise good luck to you and bottoms up 🍹
