Vegetables for Health #12: CELERY
www.fatloss100.com

Here’s how nutritious celery is and how the vegetable can help specific medical conditions.

Celery is a versatile vegetable with edible seeds, leaves and stalks. It’s a common ingredient of salads and stir fries, and adds flavour to soups. Unfortunately, when boiled at least a third of the nutrients in the plant are lost … so it’s best to steam it. Steaming for ten still keeps 90% of the antioxidants in celery.

A cupful of celery has about 15 calories, which is why it’s good for people who want to lose fat. Also, it has lots of dietary fibre to aid digestion which helps to reduce the tendency to overeat and so help to keep weight down without feeling forever hungry. Regular drinking of ‘celery juice’ before meals can actually help in weight loss, too.

Celery contains a lot of different vitamins and minerals. It has folate, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), vitamins A, C, B6, B12, and K, the latter being in high concentration and is good for the blood. It also has the minerals manganese, copper, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium.

Celery contains the flavonoids zeaxanthin, lutein, and beta carotene, which help to cut inflammation and protect against cancer. Celery contains the antioxidants lunularin, bergapten and psoralen, as well as the flavonols quercetin and kaempferol. The linoleic acid in the vegetable is an omega-6 fatty acid. Celery is a superfood!

The leaves of celery hold vitamin C, calcium, and potassium, while the seeds also contain limonene, beta-selinene, and humulene. 3-n-butyl phthalide reduces cholesterol and blood pressure by relaxing the muscles controlling blood vessels.

Coumarins in celery help to keep blood thin, and even provide relief from migraines! It appears that a suppression of nitric oxide release in the brain … which can cause headaches and migraines … is suppressed by these compounds.

Tests done in 2010 hint that celery can prevent memory loss because luteolin in celery prevented brain inflammation and memory loss in old mice. Actually, the aged mice had better learning abilities than younger mice! That’s why celery ought to boost memory as we get older.

In tests, apigenin in celery (and parsley) shrank a breast cancer tumour that was stimulated by progestin, a synthetic hormone taken by women for menopausal symptoms. Apigenin is a natural flavonoid that inhibits breast cancer cells. There is a possibility that apigenin can inhibit growth in four pancreatic cancer cell lines.
Other health benefits of celery are that it can lower cholesterol, manages arthritic pain, and detoxification of the body.
Celery seeds help to eliminate uric acid, so they can actually stimulate urination, and will benefit people with bladder, cystitis, or kidney problems. They also help prevent urinary tract infections in women.
Celery is good for people with arthritis, rheumatism, or gout because it has an anti-inflammatory effect that helps to reduce swelling and pain around joints. Celery sticks help to remove uric acid crystals that build up around the body’s joints – hence the gout benefit.
The vitamin C in celery helps to strengthen the immune system, so it can reduce the risk of catching a cold. The same vitamin also prevents ‘free radical’ damage it’s anti-inflammatory properties can ease the severity of asthmatic attacks.
Celery is available worldwide. Just make sure it’s green with no discolouration, and that the leaves are crisp. Never freeze it, but it can be refrigerated for up to a week.
All the vegetables in this playlist will help to lose fat, but it’s the minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and the phytochemicals they contain that are the real beneficial parts of vegetables.
