Ever since the day I found the wonders of organic Celery Juice and the benefits it can do for your body, I’ve been hooked.

You won’t believe the effects of celery and celery juice on your body. First of all, it’s packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties! These little green stalks are like a shield, fighting off all those nasty free radicals and reducing inflammation in your body..

And if that’s not impressive enough, celery juice has also been shown to have a positive impact on blood sugar levels. It’s like a balancing act for your sweet stuff! By sipping on this green goodness, you can keep those sugar levels in check and avoid those crazy spikes and crashes.

Now, it’s not the best-tasting thing on the market, and reminds me of wine and beer. it IS an acquired taste. But all the amazing things it can do for your body is enough for me to keep going.

Organic Celery Juice Benefits

It has been months and months since I started drinking the celery juice. After reading the Medical Medium by Anthony William and all the awesomeness in that book, I was hooked. If you haven’t read that book yet, HIGHLY recommend picking it up RIGHT now! His additional books, his podcasts, and his Instagram are also great resources for learning the basics of why you need Celery Juice in your life. Anthony has also started being featured by several celebrities and on podcasts outside of his personal community. Feel free to Google Anthony William or even “Medical Medium” you will find a plethora of information to dive into regarding his teachings and the health benefits of celery juice.

For me personally, I have seen a reduction in inflammation; a total reduction in body fat throughout my entire body. I’ve had an increase in energy; and can FEEL my body getting lighter and less filled with crap.

Celery Juice For Acid Reflux

My husband suffers from really bad acid reflux and heartburn. So much so that he’s had surgery to stretch his throat from the scarring in his throat. And, it’s been getting so bad lately that food has been getting stuck in his throat. He was thinking he would have to go back for surgery soon. I proposed to him to instead try to drink celery juice on an empty stomach every morning for 1 week to see if it would help. I kind of secretly put him on a celery juice detox without him knowing!

And a week later, it had helped enough that nothing had gotten stuck in his throat. And he was feeling less of the acid reflux happening. So we are still continuing and hoping it keeps helping heal his body from the inside out.

Celery Juice Detox

I’m a big juicer and actively juice daily in my home and like to seek out places in my community who also make great juice blends. Because of this, I was approached by Nekter Juice to help them get the word out about their new 6 day Celery Juice detox.

Now, this was a little different than my normal every morning juicing with my juicer. I, instead, went to a location and picked up my 6 day supply of the cleanse. And then would drink 16 ounces each day.

The celery juice detox formula consists of Celery Juice, Lemon Juice, and Mint.

It might not sound great, but it wasn’t too bad. I am incredibly green so I didn’t mind it. But if you aren’t used to eating/drinking such green things, I would maybe ease into this detox. Your body may heavily detox and cause you to have a drop in energy for a day or so. And you may want to start this on a weekend or a day you will be able to be at home.

When I juice at home, I prefer to only have straight celery juice, and always use organic celery stalks. Since juicing, I don’t really eat celery on its own outside of the juice. To me, it’s a bit much – I juice 2 entire bunches of celery a day, depending on the size. And the thought of eating another celery stick outside of that I really can’t stomach.

If you are thinking of doing green juice for weight loss, a mixed version is best. Maybe doing cucumber and apple to start.

I don’t recommend if you can help it, to mix anything with your celery juice. Especially when you are drinking it first thing in the morning, after your 16 oz of water with lemon or lime like I do. I always wait 15-30 minutes after finishing my water to drink my celery juice. When I’m completely done with the celery, I start a timer for 30 minutes so I know for sure I’m not ruining the work the celery juice is doing inside my body. If I run out. Or if you are looking for reduced side effects to start out, start with a smaller amount and work up.

You will find all kinds of celery juice recipes on the internet and Pinterest. But be certain to put more stalks of celery in the recipe and *try* to put less and less of other ingredients as you get used to the taste until it’s eventually only celery, at least for your morning juice.

I started drinking 16 ounces of celery juice to feel better, to help regulate my husband’s heart rate and blood pressure, and to help with my weight loss journey. I’ve been continuing it because I feel better. I have less reactions, and know exactly what my body needs.

Benefits of Celery Juice

Research suggests that drinking celery juice on a regular basis has a plethora of benefits. Benefits that range from gut health to hair health and everything in between. Here are just a few:

1. Celery juice reduces inflammation.

Inflammation is often the root causes of many aches, pains, and ailments throughout the body. It can be caused by a range of things, including food, stress, and allergy. Just one bunch of celery contains 20+ anti-inflammatory properties and organic compounds that contribute to reduced inflammation.

2.. Celery juice may help reduce high blood pressure.

Phthalide is a compound found in some fruits and vegetables, including celery, that is known to relax the blood vessels throughout the body. Thus, reducing high blood pressure and increasing proper blood flow throughout the body.

3. Celery juice is good for your heart.

Other than reducing high blood pressure (thus helping to prevent hypertension), celery juice is also good for your heart in that it cleanses the body by removing plaque build-up. In turn, this may reduce the risk of heart disease like stroke and heart attack.

4. Celery juice promotes proper digestion.

Poor digestion can contribute to a multitude of health problems. Mood swings, headaches, and acid reflux just to name a few. Celery juice contains compounds called polysaccharides. These compounds are known to improve digestion by helping to prevent stomach ulcers and supporting the stomach lining. Celery is also low on the glycemic index, meaning it takes longer to digest. This keeps you feeling fuller longer.

5. Celery juice promotes good, clear skin.

Celery juice is packed with antioxidants that can help clear your skin and prevent free radical damage from the sun and your environment. Even more, celery is loaded with water content, which means drinking celery juice can help keep your skin plump and hydrated. In fact, celery juice is great for keeping hydrated in general and like coconut water, it can be used to supplement your intake of regular water.

6. Celery juice promotes healthy hair.

The antioxidants and Vitamin K found in celery can not only fight free radicals, but they can promote hair growth as well. By fighting free radicals on the scalp, the antioxidants in celery juice can help prevent hair loss in the first place. Then, Vitamin K can help replenish your hair cells and hair follicles, and promote hair growth.

7. Celery juice is a great source of vitamins and minerals to support a healthy mind and body.

While celery has a wide range of vitamins and minerals, it is a great source of five main ones: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Potassium and Folate. All of which preform essential and necessary functions in the body. Folate, in particular, is very important for women who are pregnant, hoping to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

With all these benefits in mind, it’s no wonder so many people are jumping on the celery juice cleanse. Try the cleanse, make your own juice at home, or simply just try to incorporate celery into your diet more often. No matter which way you add this “superfood” to your diet, you will only benefit in the long run. So, friends, hit the grocery store and get yourself some celery! 

Whether you are looking for a change or want to feel better, a celery juice cleanse is a great way to come off the holidays and start the new year off with a cleanse of the body, mind, and health.

Here are a few of the photos that I took along my journey on my Instagram stories and helped to keep me accountable for doing it. If you are considering doing a cleanse or even healthy eating, I’d highly recommend you doing something similar to keep you accountable, and going. It might seem redundant or annoying, but I promise it will help you to keep accountable and honest.

So tell me, are you ready to hop on the Celery Juice train yet?

Xoxo,
