Top 5 Beauty Benefits of Eating Celery
Have you heard the saying, “you actually burn more calories when eating celery because its mostly water and takes energy to eat it”? Celery is not JUST water. It is actually full of nutrients like minerals, potassium, electrolytes, organic sodium, magnesium, calcium, Vitamin C & B, and antioxidants, and it was one of the best things you can eat today to improve your beauty health. Here’s why…
1. Celery contains natural sodium, potassium and water, and can help to prevent dehydration. Dehydrated skin means dryness, flaking, wrinkles, and even breakouts
2. Celery contains Vitamin K that keeps the blood circulation healthy and helps to reduce high blood pressure. This can reduce your stress level, and as you know stress can cause bad skin
3. As it has a high natural sodium content, celery juice raises stomach acid, which helps break down food—improving gut health and, in turn, brightening your skin
4. The magical vegetable is also loaded with vitamin A, which provides nourishment to the roots of your hair, while also stimulating growth and overall texture
5. The perfect mix of organic electrolytes, organic sodium and potassium, will help to reduce puffiness and under-eye circles
The best way for me to consume celery daily is by juicing it, here’s my celery juice recipe…

1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
1/2 cup frozen or chopped pineapple
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
