 Celery may help to prevent cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, stroke


Recent research indicates that regular consumption of celery may lower blood pressure, cutting the risk of heart disease. The low sodium content of celery adds flavour and replaces the need to use sodium in recipes. In addition, the potassium and calcium content of celery aids in lowering blood pressure. Celery contains a phytochemical called furanocoumarin that may reduce the rate of blood clotting, lowering risk for high blood pressure, heart attacks and stroke. Beta-carotene and folate team up to lower the risk of developing heart disease. This team of nutrients may also work together to fight cancer. With just 6 calories per stalk, celery adds flavour to meals and crunch to snacks while keeping waistlines healthy and supporting weight loss. 

Enjoy celery sticks as a snack, dipped in low fat dip or filled with nut butter. Add sliced celery to salad, sauces, stir-fry, casseroles, stews and soups.

Chew few celery leaves.
