The addition of celery juice to one’s meal plan has been shown to be an incredibly
healing remedy for acne, bloating, mental clarity, mood stabilization, digestion,
weight loss, eczema, blood sugar issues, high blood pressure, constipation, gout,
allergies, sinus issues, psoriasis, and countless others. That said, there is a correct
way to consume your daily celery juice.
For the incredible benefits of consuming celery juice to work their magic, drinking
16 ounces (480 ml) on an empty stomach first thing in the morning is recommended.
That said, drinking and eating celery is still incredibly beneficial to your health and
wellness, and this book is here to show you just how easy it can be to include it in all
aspects of your diet.
Even if you don’t want to just consume 16 ounces (480 ml) of celery juice every
morning, celery has some wonderful health benefits.
• Celery has an alkalizing effect. This means that it neutralizes the acidity of the
body. Having an alkalized system has been shown in studies to help fight diseases
such as cancer.
• Celery is rich in vitamins A, K, and C and minerals like potassium and folate, and
it has a low glycemic index.
• Celery has about 25 anti-inflammatory compounds.
• Celery has been shown to aid digestion and has compounds that soothe
stomach ulcers.
• Celery is a great source of antioxidants that protect against cell damage.
The shelf life of a juice is very short; optimally, you should drink it within 30 minutes
of preparing it, but if you must store it, store it in the refrigerator for no longer than
48 hours. And what do you do with all the leftover pulp? Don’t throw it away! See
pages 135 to 155 for ways to use it in everything from fritters to crackers to soups, and
even treats for your dog.
Juicing is the process where you separate the liquid from the pulp or fiber of the fruit
or vegetable. The product you get is a thin and concentrated liquid that contains all
of the nutrients listed above. The removal of dietary fiber is an advantage to juicing.
The body doesn’t need to work as hard to extract all of these amazing vitamins,
minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients from the plants you have juiced. This allows
the nutrients to enter your bloodstream as quickly as possible and with the least
amount of energy expended by the body.
Smoothies come from blending the entire fruit, vegetable, liquid, nuts, seeds, and
other various superfoods. The result frequently has more volume, thickness, and is
generally creamier than a juice. With smoothies, you retain the fiber, which makes
you feel full and improves digestion.
The amount of celery needed will differ. You are aiming for 16 ounces (480 ml)
of celery juice for optimal results. This can be made in a juicer, but I want to
show that you can make it without the investment in a large appliance. Buy
yourself a couple of nut milk bags for ease, but if you can’t find those, a fine-
mesh strainer will do the trick! Drink immediately, first thing in the morning,
on an empty stomach. This method can be used with any and all of the juices
if buying a juicer is not in the budget.
INGREDIENTS
1 large bunch organic celery
1 nut milk bag
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
1. Cut the bottom root off of the celery and rinse each individual stalk.
2. Chop the celery and, working in batches, add to a high-powered blender and blend
on high speed until smooth and all the celery has been added.
3. Fit your nut milk bag over a glass measuring cup. Pour the celery puree into the nut
milk bag and squeeze until all the liquid is removed and you have 16 ounces (480 ml).
4. Reserve the pulp for another use and drink the juice immediately for optimal vitamin
and nutrient content.
