Celery is loaded with potassium and magnesium. Celery is also a good source of fiber and vitamins A, C, and E. Celery combats hypertension because it contains coumarin, a compound that relaxes the smooth muscle cells in the arterial walls, allowing the arteries to dilate and effectively lowering blood pressure.[1] Its cooling and calming properties make it an excellent addition to the diet for high-stress types and athletes. In addition, celery is a low-calorie food. Each eight-inch rib has only six calories, making it a healthy and replenishing snack.
Juice celery sticks in the morning. Celery is great raw, and it is also delicious cooked in soups, stews and casseroles.
